Congratulations and join the club! We have breed several chicks ourselves! There is a great new book that I picked up in Australia - A Guide to Black Cockatoos by Neville and Enid Connors published by Australian Birdkeeper magazine. Actually I was invited by Neville to speak at Aves Parrots Convention 2005. You should feed it on Kaytee Macaw Handfeeding but don't overstretch the crop. Be aware that their digestive system is much slower than most parrot chicks and they do not eat much!

Anyway, my palm cockatoos finally hatched a chick recently and feeding it well so far. I have another chick from an egg taken out earlier and hatched in incubator. Need advice on the hand feeding formula. The chick is doing well but I want it to get proper nutrition. Please help.
