It boils down to observation my dear! I have come to realize that Eli (who on a ch range of 1-10 is an 8) he doesn't use his tongue either! He has been compensating for quite a few years now, and I watched Birdie eat, and he's using the same method! Peck, pick up a bite, and shhot his neck back to eat. His teeth work fine, and his jaw works as well. I can't not give him a chance to at least try on his own. I have had another busy day so the little dirty bird has to at least have a trial run at eating on his own right? It really is much like feeding a nestling.... PEEEP! Don't worry Auntie Leslie..he's doing O.K! Not terrific, but it's a start!
