No dad didnt feed him, mom was too protective to let him come around but then at around 3 weeks mom got sick and had to be taken to the vet, the vet said that raising him on her own was very stressful on her body, which makes sense, so I had to take over for the next few weeks while she was...
He got crop milk until about a week ago, I feed him kaytee formula and I leave seeds out for him, I havent left after out because when I gave him some water in a bowl he thought it would be a good idea to dunk his entire body in it, so I'm still watching how he is with water in a bowl.

So I thi k I just figured out why she isnt letting him near the baby, I picked the baby up to check it when she flew out of the nest and it has a nice cut on its butt, maybe he is going after him when she leaves the nest, it doesnt look deep looks like if you were too scrape your skin, is there...
