My 4-week-old cockatiel eats less after formula change. What's wrong?

Question

My baby cockatiel is some 4-5 weeks old. Quite recently I've changed the consistency of its formula food. And I'm using Nestlé Baby feeding formula powder called cerelac. It used to eat 2-3 syringes of the runny formula.. Now that I have changed its consistency to creamy and thick..it barely takes some 1 and half. Please assist. It's absolutely fine otherwise.

Cerelac is a human baby food, and your baby bird should be on a baby bird food so that he is getting the right nutrients to grow. If he's starting to feather, you can start to add in and offer some mashed up or soaked cockatiel feed/seeds to encourage him to eat a little more since he is old enough to start transitioning.
