My baby ringneck will not eat, I want to clarify that i am fairly expirienced with handfeeding parrots but this is new to me for context So my irns had two babies one had splay legs so i took it for hand feeding about 3 weeks ago. 4 days ago when i was checking the other baby in the nest, the nest had 3 new eggs in it so i took the second baby so the mother could focus on hatching the new eggs but the second baby will not eat. I intended to leave the baby with its mother so it can be a wild bird but under these cirumctances i took it

Cutest Bird Ever!!!
Hello, Welcome,
If I'm understanding right, the chick won't eat from you?
If you just took the bird, it could just need some time, over the next two days they should become more willing to eat.
Put the chicks together in the brooder, that should kick in their instincts of "fighting" for food.
How long has this bird been alone since you took the other?
