A baby parrot lost his mother and her human had to record when something incredible happened.
The father of the little bird stepped in and fed his son. It is rare for males to feed their young ones. With the mother dead, the male parent steps in to address the child’s needs.
The Bird Recovery International says that the mother bird died because of a chest injury. Chris Biro decided to feed the bird.
Biro says hand feeding the bird is a difficult job and only birds are designed to so. It was not easy at first but with time the male parrot became better at feeding the little bird.
Biro captured the feeding fests of the birds and shared it online.
The bird takes food into his mouth and pecks at it baby’s bird beak till he opens it. The male stuffs food into the baby’s mouth. The baby chirps loudly back at him. Sometimes, it is difficult the food into the baby’s mouth but the father is patient enough. He hops around Biro’s hand to find the best position.
The baby needs to be fed for eight weeks after they are born for them to survive.
