Right now I have a 8 week old sun Conure. I want to know what is the right amount of food should I provide him? Right now I’m only feeding with the baby formula. Thank you so much for your support. Have a lovely day.

AT this age, he should be weaning. Begin introducing a pelleted diet, about 1/4 cup daily to start. Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber or Pretty Bird are excellent brands. You may still need to provide supplemental feedings. Monitor his weight closely. You can also offer fresh greens and vegetables as well as a seed mix such as NutriBerries.
