Answer
Hi, Subbu,

I don't have enough information from your post to help you out much.  However, I can say that this baby needs more nutrition than liquid rice.  This baby needs baby parrot handfeeding formula.  You can find this at pet stores or online.  You can try feeding Ensure Plus or another brand of human liquid supplement until you can get the handfeeding formula.  You can also use human infant formula until you can get the handfeeding formula.  I also advise you to get your baby bird to a certified avian veterinarian right away.  Your baby is sick and may not survive if you don't take appropriate action right away to get this baby on the proper food.  Also, any food has to be fed to the baby at 102-104 degrees F, and you have to keep the baby warm at about 98 degrees F until the baby has enough feathers to keep itself warm.  The heat also helps the baby metabolize the food you feed it.  The vet visit is necessary to see if the baby has some type of crop slow down or stasis or if some bacteria is present in the crop.
