how often to feed a baby cockatiel

Question
I have 3 baby cockatiels that are 1 weeks old. Their parents are getting tired of handfeeding them. I know how to feed them, but I don't know how often you feed them. is it time to start handfeeding them?

P.S. thanks!

Answer
Hello Daniel and thank you for your post.
Your new babies need to be fed every 4 hours (around the clock) until they are about 4 weeks old and it is time to start weaning them.
Mke sure to wash and disinfect the hand feeding tools that you are using after each use, and use a different tool (syringe) for each bird.
Please keep me informed on the babies' progress as I LOVE happy endings.

Good luck and God Bless.
