Sultan/Sultana Junior
These are the first photos of our new baby, taken on the 24th April when (s)he was about three weeks old. For the sake of ease, we are considering April Fools Day as his/her birthday.
He needs to be fed by syringe at three to four hourly intervals from dawn till about 9 or 10pm and takes almost 10% of his bodyweight at each feed. (He weighs 300 grams here.) Food consists of a ground up mixture of nuts, grains and pulses mixed with a small amount of spirulina, some hot water, vitamin suppliment and commercial (Heinz) baby food. It has to be made fresh for every feed.
He lives in a tupperware box lined with a Tesco's nappy and paper towels. Towels are changed at every feed and the nappy once daily or when it gets soiled. (Nappys are very good for little birds. They give the bird grip and stop them becoming splay legged.)
