Directions
A naturally preserved product needs special attention to maintain maximum freshness. After opening bag, remove air from package and reseal tightly. Use food within 30 - 45 days. Store in a cool, dry location. Refrigerate or freeze for extended storage.. Baby birds should be fed on a routine schedule allowing the chick's crop to empty (or nearly empty) between feedings and to determine if bird is being fed the right amount. This prevents any food remaining too long in the crop and possibly spoiling. If the time between crop emptying suddenly increases, and the crop appears to be slowing down, observe the chick closely. See "IMPORTANT NOTES" regarding crop-slow down.

Kaytee Exact hand-feeding formula is perfect when using my hand-feeding method because it's easy to get the consistency just right for this. The amount of water I mix in is perfect for her too, because during this episode of digestive difficulties, she wasn't drinking enough water to stay properly hydrated.
For the sake of comparison, I found Morning Bird's First Formula, to be very sticky (like honey) when prepared. And to get a thick consistency, I've found that you're better off using hardly any water. What concerned me most about this formula though is that, during the duration of time I tried this formula, it seemed responsible for tinting her urates yellow or pink. I've contacted the company to see if any other customers have reported this and asked, under these circumstances , if it is safe to use. However, it's been over a week and their customer service has not responded to me.
Tropican hand-feeding formula also sounded good initially as, one of their claims, is that this formula won't stick to feathers. Upon using it, however, I found that I had to use a lot more water than formula to get the right consistency, and even then the texture was more crumbly so that it was hard to get this formula into my bird's mouth using my technique (finding that I had to poke it in between her beak with a small spoon or the blunt end of a toothpick). This formula might otherwise be great for others who aren't using my technique.
So after trying those brands, I returned to using Kaytee for good. Finally, I think the nutrient mix in Kaytee has helped resolve some other possible nutrient deficiencies my parrot has (which my avian veterinarian wasn't able to fully address), as her occasional dry sneezing has ceased (which probably points to her need for more vitamin A), and the probiotics in this formula has helped her digestion. She doesn't strain to poop, and her poops look much healthier now than they had looked in more recent years.
