Hi guys,
I'm in the process of trying to handrear indie but with no success I still haven't found out what his favorite food is yet and I'm starting to get upset about him

Re: HELP ME HELP INDIE
How old is Indie. If Indie is really young, you should just be feeding him formula. Favourite foods come later when you are weaning them and training them.
If you are handfeeding, you need to check out this thread:

Good luck with little Indie.

Re: HELP ME HELP INDIE
Have you tried giving Indie a heap of different foods in a coop cup in his cage and watching which ones he goes for first? That can help you find a favourite food.
You can also use your bird's natural curiousity.... sit beside the cage and eat something (that he can eat too. eg. grapes). If he comes closer to inspect, you can offer some between the cage bars..... It may take a few goes, but if you try it a few times a day, hopefully he will eat from your hand through the cage bars within a week.
Good luck.
