Full description
Wisbroek Parrot High Protein Handfeeding is a handfeeding specifically developed for handrearing young parrots that need a low-fat diet, but with extra protein. It can also be used as force feeding of sick or straggling young birds.
Nutritional advice
To make the Handfeeding and feed it to the bird, you need the following:
- Wisbroek Parrot High Protein Handfeeding
- Small syringe
- Cup needle or feeding spoon
- Container to prepare the food
- Sturdy container to put the bird in during feeding
Preparation:
Boiled water is the best way to prepare the porridge. Make sure that you let the water cool down to a temperature of 38°C. At this temperature the enzymes do their work best and the Handfeeding food has a nice structure.
Dosage: Add 1 part Universal Handfeeding to 1 part (max. 3 parts) water. Stir until all the powder is dissolved. Leave it to stand for 5-10 minutes and stir again until an even porridge forms. It is important to let the porridge thicken well, so that the structure can pass through the feeder easily.
Important: Never add additives to the Handfeeding food. This disturbs the composition.
Feed the youngster:
Draw up the porridge with a syringe and press the air out. Place the youngster in a small sturdy container that makes it feel like a nest. Tip: A cut-up plastic bottle, for example, is very suitable for this. Place a piece of paper towels at the bottom. Usually the chick will hatch when you tap on the edge of the nest. The Wisbroek Universal Handfeeding can then be fed with a feeding syringe or a feeding spoon.
Storing Handfeeding food
After preparation, the Handfeeding food can be kept for a maximum of 8 hours. Store it at room temperature and out of the sun. Never put it in the refrigerator, because this is too cold for the (young) bird and reduces the effect of the feed.
Hygiene:
Wash your hands thoroughly before use and use clean materials. Clean all the equipment (the containers, syringes, crop needles, etc.) well after use. Hygiene is of vital importance when handfeeding young birds.
Remove droppings:
You can often tell a bird's health from its droppings. After feeding, check whether there is faeces in the nest. If this is the case, then remove it. In principle, the young bird will produce neat droppings after each feeding. This is contained in a membrane and can be taken out of the nest in its entirety with, for instance, a pair of tweezers.
Attention: If the membrane around the faeces of the young bird is missing, it cannot be picked up with tweezers or between the fingers. It is then possible that the youngster has a bacterial infection. In this case, have the faeces examined by a specialised veterinarian. If necessary, the vet can prescribe the right medication. This medication can then be added to the Handfeeding food.
