Just weaned green cheek?

Hi! I am going to get a green cheek. I could get him this weekend if I want- he has just been weaned. The breeder told me I could finish him up- what does that entail? I have never handfed before but my neighbor has quite a lot and could help me. Will I need to hand feed him at all- or just keep an eye on him to make sure he is eating and weigh him?

Ordinarily I would say do not attempt to handfeed yourself if you don't know how, but if your friend has offered to show you how I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to learn! I don't know what it means but I'm guessing it means you will have to handfeed.

I would wait until the bird is fully weaned. You must monitor it carefully if you are weaning it yourself. Green cheeks are wonderful, good choice!

I've decided to go ahead and wait until next week after all. It is only 6 days- I think I can wait that long
