When I said baby food I was talking about baby parrot feed, not human baby Diana, it may be easy to digest and can help to keep weight up, I know Roz will do anything for Ollie his in great hands
 
Thank you so much, lovely friends. It means a lot to know everyone is rooting for Ollie. :heart1:

Michael, thank you for the suggestion of baby food. I have tried human baby food - he was liking baby porridge, but sadly only takes a few mouthfuls now, if at all. Baby parrot feed - I have Emeraid for sick birds. He had a few sips of it last night, but refuses it today. I also have Harrison's Recovery Formula which I was mixing into his cooked mash, but for the last two days he is not eating his mash. I have another Harrison's small bird formula, but that has bits in it, which I think he will find hard to digest. Have tried mixing both formulas with the porridge, but he doesn't like it. Going to see if he will eat any of the formulas or porridge again now.
 
What about Feast ?
maybe that will be ok, it’s quite fine/powdery

May very least when I called them they sent out sample packs of all the options

have you tried or thought about Feast ?
 
Well, good news - Ollie likes the Harrisons Recovery Formula! He ate 4 spoonfuls of it in total tonight. I added his Celebrex to the second spoon and he ate it all! Wish he would eat the Gabapentin (for nerve pain), but it is almost up there with Baytril in the disgusting stakes. Maybe I will stick with Celebrex for the moment. Here he is eating the formula:

He also ate some cooked mash, baby porridge and a piece of digestive biscuit! I think he is feeling the love and healing coming his way. Thank you!

A little food intake could make the world of difference! I hope he feels stronger and his weight starts to come back up.

Sending positive thoughts your way, fella :)

I have used Harrisons recovery formula with our chickens and also with wild birds that have come to us sick or injured. I find it works OK both as a creamy textured mix, a thicker paste and if you let it dry a bit you can roll it into little pellets too.
Keep going Ollie !
 
OMG he is eating Harrison's Recovery Formula straight!!!!! Looks like he is liking it. Will try again in an hour or so.

Feast? I need to Google. Thank you Scott199!
It’s by the good bird inc I think, same as makes guardian angel, feast egg food.

almost powdery and you can add water to make a semi porridge type thing.

give them a call they do a few different types and they will send out little sample bags for you to try
 
Wonder if there is a health food shop on the island perhaps something like ground millet made into a porridge may tempt him and be easy to digest being already ground.....

He had 3 small teaspoons of the formula for breakfast. Ate the Celebrex which was hidden in the first spoon. He also put on 6gms!!! Up from 316gms two days ago to 322gms this morning. The vet is coming to visit him on Wednesday.

Plumsmum, before now he hasn't really liked sweet things... but the Recovery Formula is quite sweet and he's eating that.

Dizzyblue I have baby porridge for him that he likes.

Scott199 the Feast Eggfood looks good! The probiotics are a big plus!
