Expert Answer

Parrot chicks need formula for 30 to 40 days, and weaning can be attempted once they reach 30 days of age. If a chick is weak, the weaning period can be extended appropriately. The formula is best mixed with warm water at 38 to 40 degrees C at a powder-to-water ratio of 1:2.5, adding water first then powder. After 30 days, weaning can begin, but the formula supply should not be cut off suddenly; gradually add some grains while reducing the formula amount until the parrot is fully weaned.
