Should I feed milk to my baby Indian ringneck parrot? Is it safe?

You could but it would not be a balanced diet. A commercial handfeeding formula would provide complete nutrition for your growing chick. You can purchase it at most pet stores or online. If you can't find one, a better recipe can be found online using your preferred search engine. Follow the link for an example. http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/viewtopic.php

A ringneck chick can be syringe fed a gruel if necessary. Care must be taken to not allow aspiration of the gruel into the respiratory system. If he/she is not eating, an exam with an experienced avian veterinarian would be recommended to diagnose illness or injury.

It's possible the baby got a bit chilled from being wet. Making sure he is in a cage that is kept warm, and adding in a heat lamp as needed to help him dry off and warm up may help, as well as making sure he is still eating and drinking. If he continues to weaken, is showing other signs of illness, or isn't improving, seeking veterinary care in person ASAP is best as once birds are showing signs of illness, it is typically serious enough to require care in person.

If you think the baby bird is not being fed enough or is being ignored by its parents, you can definitely try adding in some supplemental baby bird food to see if it helps. Most pet stores carry baby bird formula along with syringes, and the packaging should have feeding instructions for your bird's age and weight. Looking up a few videos on feeding baby birds may also help, so you can learn what a full/empty crop looks like to adjust your feeding schedule. If supplemental feeding isn't helping, or you're seeing other issues or signs of illness in addition to the reduced growth, scheduling a vet checkup is always best to rule out any issues such as underlying health or genetic problems that could be causing it.

The diet being offered currently is not appropriate. At 6 weeks old, Sparky should still be getting a hand feeding formula. A link is included below. Feedings may range between 4 and 8 a day depending on the weight and species. I would suggest having the bird physically examined by a veterinarian or an experienced avian vet to confirm good health. Weaning typically takes place between 8 and 12 weeks of age. At this point, transition to a commercial pelleted diet (Roudybush, LaFeber, Harrison's or Pretty Bird). Introduce other foods gradually and offer a small amount of a fortified seed mix. https://www.kaytee.com/learn-care/pet-birds/hand-feeding

Look for a commercial pelleted diet (Harrison's, Lafeber, Pretty Bird, KayTee Exact or Roudybush). These can be purchased online or in most pet stores. Discontinue the almonds and dry fruit. As you know, these do not make up a balanced or healthy diet. Instead, supplement with a bit of a fortified seed mix, fresh fruit and vegetables and cooked grains and beans. You can let her eat rice or cooked eggs off your plate (or from her own plate with you at the table) to get her interested in other, healthier options.

Ringnecks should be fed a wide variety of foods. A high quality dry food mix that contains seeds, grains and nuts should be available at all times - a Small Hookbill or Cockatiel should be suitable for them. Clean, fresh water for drinking and bathing should also be provided. Their diet should also include a good amount of leafy dark greens and vegetables (i.e. chard, kale, carrots, corn, celery, squash), as well as fruits (i.e., applies, grapes, pears, persimmons, pomegranates, figs, grapes, bananas). Wild-picked green foods such as chickweed, seeding grass, dandelion (flowers, roots and leaves), shepherds-purse and sow-thistle make excellent additions to a healthy diet. Germinated or sprouted seeds are especially important for the breeding season. They should be fed fresh making sure that it is not contaminated by bacteria or molt. It should have a sweet smell. If it smells foul or sour, discard. Frequent rinsing will help prevent spoilage. Sprouting: The Easy Way. Calcium supplements, such as cuttlefish, shell grit, crushed oyster shell or calcium blocks should be available - particularly during the breeding season. Millet spray makes a nutritious treat.
