Is my baby Jardine training me?

[Nala92]

Hi!

in the past I handled multiple birds. From a cockatiel to a galah and more. So I am used to handfeeding.
I have a jardine, Lily. She was hatched around 21st October. That makes her almost 11 weeks.
I planned it good. I worked half days, up until last week. This is so that I could feed her 3 times she even started to eat! And for the last week and a half or so, she didn’t even want her afternoon feed.

Now that I started working again, miss Lily is isn’t eating pellets or seeds. She plays with them. Unfortunately I do need to start working again. I work Wednesday- Friday 8:30-17:00.
So this is how I feed her at the moment,on my working days:
- 7:00
She has pellets and seeds in her cage
-17;30 after I come home
-19:00
(So that there is 12hrs between last and first feed)

She is playful and practicing her flying. She doesn’t seem any different. Maybe someone can help me with a schedule

my Galah was easier !

I think your baby is being a baby Regressions are normal!

@Mizzely thank you. I thought so but, sometimes you are thinking to much and just need reassurance. It just feels not nice that at my working days, I cannot give her the meal that she wants on the times that she wants. When I have my days off, I do do it like 9-3-9.

We are a couple of months further and she still isn't weaned. She is screaming for food, even though I know she can eat her pellets. She just really wants to have formula. I never had screaming birds. I just don't know what to do. But I know she eats pellets. I've seen the crumbs. But I dislike the screaming.
