my 5-week tiel cries and moves away

Question
QUESTION: My tiel, Quito, cries when I'm around and both cries and moves away from my hand.  He/she(?), the breeder told me, up to the point I got her she was fed by her parents.  I got her 1-week ago when she was 4-weeks old.  

Shes does eat cornmeal bread, corn, soft veggies, egg.  She doesn't eat to fill its crop like my first tiel.  But goes to food often.  At times I do feel her crop and seems empty.  I put her close to the dish, as it goes crazy with crying, and he eats.  

Hope I've been clear enough for you to help me.

ANSWER: Hello Ingrid and thank you for your post.
I hope that I am understanding that your baby cockatiel is 4 weeks old, not hand fed, but fed by the parents, and is afraid of your hand.
First of all, your baby is too young to be weaned.  You'll nedd to get a handfeeding formula and a syringe and start hanefeeding the bird to keep it from losing too much weight.  This can be picked up at your local pet shop.  Follow the mixing instructions on the label.
Handfeeding this baby will help to create a trust between you and the bird.  This is very important for training purposes.
I am sending a link that will help to explain how to hand feed a baby bird.  There is a lot more information here and I have found it to be interesting to read.

Good luck and God Bless.

QUESTION: Donna, thx for your reply.  I did think he wasn't ready to be weaned and so I did try feeding with the syringe. He resisted and I (gently) forced formula into his little beak as he was moving so much I thought I would hurt him if I forced the syringe into his throat.  

However, I will try again.  Poor little thing.  Thank you again.  --Ingrid.

Answer
Hello again Ingrid,
Do continue with the soft foods too.  Also, with the formula, you'll have to make it a little thicker than usual to be sure that (s)he is getting enough to fill his/her belly.
You might want to take this baby into a Certified Avian Vet to be sure that it's healthy and there are no complications.

I agree with you, the poor little thing.  I feel so bad for birds in this situation, and people like you who are willing to take on such a responsibility because they love their pet so much.

Please keep me posted.

God Bless.
