Not coconut oil, it needs to be coconut cream or coconut milk! It can be used to put weight on, but should be given along with the yogurt/applesauce and other liquid foods, not just coconut cream by itself. If you have a blender, you can liquify feed with the coconut cream/yogurt too!

As long as you look where your tube is going and use something thicker than water, you will be ok to tube feed! If you can't do it, and can't find someone, even a neighbor or stranger, who will hand-feed your bird while you are away, it wouldn't be the right thing to leave her to painfully...
