Question
Hi

What are the nessary supples needed to hand-feed cockatiels?

Answer
if your going to spoon feed, then a small spoon and a baby mix for baby birds, mix and heat in micro oven as directed, feed every four hours.
If injecting into the crop, u must learn this from a breeder so it does not go into the lungs, same mix can be used, u also must learn how much, etc.  when the crop is full u can see that also, but get a ten minute lesson as I did when I bought my African Grey peep

Kind Regards
