HALEEMA SALMAN –
As a hobby i love parrots especially conures and rnk i raised my all chicks on psitacus and katee from past 6 years but from last year 25 till now 26 i tried forchew high protein also sunconure special elite breeder class on my birds it gives me best result ,but only thing i noticed it is not good for small conure babies of one day as it cause crop blockage plz introduce crop milk for day old chicks as it is out of stock from 6 to 8 months ,as you know small conures especially suncheek and sunconure abandon their chicks on day 1st to day 3rd mostly young pairs do this ,
my request is to only introduce crop milk with high protien content and highly digestable also i appreciate you that high protein and sun conure special is doing wonders in my chicks after 14 to 15 days of age till weaning
HALEEMA SALMAN –
introduce easily available crop milk
HALEEMA SALMAN –

HALEEMA SALMAN –
sunconure breeder elite class feed is good and give better digestion than simple sunconure special .one good thing is that it is easy to mix ,change the label of feeding instruction write 90 degree water in feed first then make paste it will make forchew feed more digestable then add normal water and feed at 39 to 40 deg for digestion .
