Help! Hand feeding violet turaco!

[Glothomsen]

I am trying to hand feed a turaco. I've never done this before and there isn't a lot online about it. Is anyone on here familiar with exactly where I should place the food syringe tip in the mouth and how to know if his crop is emptying fully. It seems so frail.

Thanks

Here's a YouTube video of a baby being fed, however baby seems to really want food. Is there a pet store you can reach out to? I don't know anything about tropical birds.

Crop is usually on the left side of the chest, should feel full after being fed then empty overnight.

How developed is it, and why are you hand feeding it?

Not judging, those answers matter.

Thank you so much for the reply, . I lost the little booger, and no there isn't anyone around here with the knowledge I needed. Posting here was my last hope but it was too late he was gone. I had actually overfed him:-(
