* The adult bird crop holds an estimated 5% of body weight. The initial tube feeding should

be one-third to one-half of estimated crop volume to minimize the risk of regurgitation.

Emeraid Psittacine prepared at a ratio of 1 scoop (10 mg) to 10 ml water provides 2.0

kcal/ml where energy requirements (kcal) are calculated as K (Wkg0.73) and K equals

132. Additional calories may be required for conditions such as convalescence,

trauma, sepsis, and growth.
