I tried the bowl chest high but the power to get a bite for her comes from slamming her face in the food she gets disinterested if I hold the bowl. I stopped making her food soupy and wet because she inhaled the water mixture and got an upper respiratory infection. It is just the top of her head...

I've seen the way she feeds crossely and my bird can't be syringe fed like that every time I try she chokes no matter how I do it slow fast on the right side or left side she ends up choking and spitting it out everywhere but I will hit her up and see if she has any ideas thank you!

I have this 2 month old about cross beak pullet and I've solved the not eating issue my big problem now is cleanliness after meals. This chick eats mush and I put things like veggies, some chicken food, and mackerel all mixed with water. The food gets so dry and caked on so quick while she's...

Hey there peeps. I need help on figuring out what feeding tube catheter size I need for my severely cross beaked chick. Its a month old about and looks to be an Easter egger. I think from the opening of its mouth to the gullet its maybe 5 inches unless I'm way off his neck just seems longer than...

But yes if I feed him a full crop at night in the morning he wakes up crying because he's hungry. Yeah I thought about him aspirating his food...

I gave him a syringe and a half of vitamins, electrolytes, and oregano oil. I hope he pulls through I never noticed how bad it got because he's constantly moving and peeping but its when he's not and i lay down with him I hear him wheezing and the chest rattling.

I was thinking it might be that but its more like clumpy than soupy. Once in a while its soupy.

I can post a few pictures. He does eat on his own as long as the food bowl is deep and its the right consistency. No mucous from the nose or eyes but when he sneezes sometimes it flies out. He eats on his own so long as the bowl is deep and the food is the right consistency. I've had him for...

Could it be that he's been breathing in the water from his food and aspirating on it?!
