I have a bird that must be tube fed 3x daily- been doing it for 7 months. I use either Kaytee or Exact baby parrot formula, switching between the two to try to integrate micronutrient differences that may exist. I also use milk, juice or honey and water as the liquid part, trying to diversify a bit.
A 7# bird needs about 130mL of tomato soup consistency formula. I go through about 120mL of the dry formula to about 375mL of the liquid daily. It's hard to say exactly, as the tube dictates the consistency and I wish I could make it thicker so it wasn't so waterlogged with constant runny poop- but that's how it is.
