WHAT DOES WEANED AND UNWEANED MEAN?
This is a good question. Baby birds, when they are pulled from their birdie parents, think of us as their Mom & Dad. We must simulate feeding, just like the bird parents did, in order for them to eat. Just like human babies, birds cannot eat solid food until they reach a certain age. Bird parents regurgitate into a baby’s mouth to feed them. We feed them baby bird formula with a syringe until they can eat on their own. Even after they are eating solid food on their own, they must be fed formula sometimes for a long time!
