Hello,
I have a 4 day-old abandoned baby buggie bird. I found this baby in the bottom of the cage on the first day, I tried putting it back in the breeding box (Matki) but when I checked it after around 3 hours the baby was still alone in there cold and starved. so I put it in the brooder and have been taking care of it since then.
Everything was fine until today I noticed some bubbles in the baby's food crop after feeding (I am feeding the baby every 1& half hours) I check the crop before every feed to ensure it is empty (I feed with a spoon, not a syringe as I am afraid of hurting the baby or overfeeding him/her ) but today, even after 3 hours, I feel that there is still food in there. I am not confident if the crop is empty or not, and the baby is crying for food.
I am attaching a picture of the baby and the crop. Could you please help me tell if the crop is empty or not? Should I continue to feed the baby bird as usual?
