How to Wean a Baby Bird (based on experience with a Cockatiel)

I weaned my baby cockatiel on my own through a lot of trial & error, and help from my vet. I wanted to share this video to help anyone else who is weaning a baby bird for the first time. I DO NOT endorse buying an unweaned bird (or breeding your own baby birds) if you have never weaned one before and are not educated on the subject. Breeders should only be selling birds that are already weaned.

I prepared feeding formula myself. I used to feed my cockatiel with Nutribird.

I got a baby cockateil from a seller , the baby is male and 3 month old as the owner said , he told me to hand feed the formula 2 times a day , the baby doesn't know how to eat seeds , he can't jump or fly . What should I do. This is the first time I'm having a cockateil

Keep doing the formula handfeedings at the scheduled times, and keep solid food (pellets) available to them at all times. As the birds get better at eating solid food, taper down the amount of handfeedings. They’ll keep crying until they are fully weaned off of formula.
