ABSTRACT:
An improved method for the feeding of psittacines involves the use of a feeding device having a spout that may be grasped by the mandibles of the psittacine to prompt it to pump feed flowing from the vessel down its esophagus. This method mitigates damage to the avian choana and esophagus often caused by conventional use of syringes and cannula for juvenile psittacine feeding. Details are disclosed of the relevant feeding device which includes the spout designed to permit flow of psittacine feed to the bird plus, advantageously, a handle opposed to the spout and a unique cover.
