aww, what a cutie pie, poor 2nd baby, something must have gotten it.
where are all the links with the rubber glove method and parrot hand feeding formula?? do you have any wildlife centers in your area, young piji's and doves will imprint heavily when raised alone, sometimes to the point where they can never be released, it's hard to avoid even with multiples but their chances are better when raised with others of the same species. not sure if the baby should go back out at this point, whatever got the 2nd baby may come back

Fallen NestI have checked extensively in all surrounding foliage, I cant find the 2nd bird. I have feed the baby bird just now using a cut off syringe and rubber top method I saw on you tube. I mashed up some organic oats with some luke warm water. It ate the lot and is now asleep. I have placed it near the window, near where its mother may be so that maybe she can hear that the baby is nearby. And vise a versa. I am off to the produce store to try and find some baby parrot feed. Running off a few hours sleep here....

good job! baby might like to have some extra warmth, heating pad on low under half the box, you can toss the nest and just use fleece or t-shirt type material, i usually put a couple of paper towels in between them and the cloth so i can keep things clean

Will do thanks, I have some baby formula now so will feed every 3 hours I guess....Mum and dad are still near the window. Its warm here today so I am keeping bird in nest in an old fur hat near the windowsill. Away from drafts and sunlight - it seems warm enough. Hope this little fella makes it through the next few days. Will keep you posted.

Fallen NestThe baby bird has taken 2 feeds off me of about 5ml each of the baby parrot formula. I tried to feed it again this afternoon but he wasn't too interested. I will try again at dark before I put him asleep for the night. I am trying to learn how to see if his crop is full or not. Will go out for another look for 2nd baby now as parents have been hanging around.

As to the crop .. it's just at the base of the neck and it fills up kind of like a little balloon when you feed. It needs to get puffed out a bit and should feel like the consistency of a marshmallow. Not too tight and not too loose .. just nice and firm. If you don't have a tidy little ball of marshmallow there, then you are feeding a bit too little. Terry
