Feeding Instructions
Feed the baby bird on a regular schedule each day and
monitor its weight as it grows. Feeding intervals will vary
based on species and age of the bird.
Newly hatched chicks – If fed a proper formula consistency,
newly hatched chicks will empty their crops in one
to two hours.They should be fed every two hours to
ensure they are hydrated and have adequate growth.
Formula consistency should be one part Embrace formula
to four parts water, approximately the consistency of a
beaten egg.
Age four to 14 days – Over the next 10 days, thicken
the formula every other day until it is the consistency of
a baby applesauce or one part Embrace formula to three
parts water.
Age 14 days to weaning – After 14 days, the baby bird
should be able to digest a formula with the consistency
of thick applesauce or one part Embrace formula to two
parts water.
The number of daily feedings required and the age of
weaning will vary based on the species of the bird.
Complete hand-feeding instructions are sealed inside
each Embrace pouch. Consult an avian professional if you
have questions about hand-feeding your baby bird.
At the end of the hand-feeding stage, begin slowly introducing
the bird to ZuPreem AvianWeaning™ Diet.This
diet provides an important nutritional bridge between
the hand-feeding stage and the adult food cup.Towards
the end of weaning, provide the baby bird access to a
ZuPreem AvianMaintenance™ FruitBlend Flavor or Natural
Diet. All ZuPreem life-stage avian diets have complementary
tastes and fresh ingredients, encouraging a smooth
transition from one product to another.
Note – As an indicator of health, always monitor for
changes in weight and body condition. Provide adequate
amounts of food to maintain body condition, preventing
excessive thinness or obesity.
