Feeding frequency depends on age: under 15 days, every 2-3 hours; 15-30 days, every 4 hours; after one month, three times a day. Adjust as the bird grows, lowering frequency but increasing portion size.
Nestlings eat little and get hungry easily, so feed small and often; overfeeding causes stomach upset.
