Hi,
Do somebody have a proper weight of c. alba chick since hatching? We have a problem with weight gaining. Feeding cca 1,5ml every 2h day & night.

Cacatua alba is the Latin name for the umbrella cockatoo. I can't find too much information but I did find a little. The table on page 818 of this link shows a partial weight chart for umbrella cockatoo chicks: http://avianmedicine.net/content/uploads/2013/03/30.pdf

This link doesn't have information on the umbrella cockatoo: http://recil.grupolusofona.pt/bitstream ... sequence=1 But it does have growth curves for several parrot species including a couple of cockatoos. You might be able to find a species that has a weight similar to the umbrella cockatoo, and use it as a guide. The link also has daily weight charts at the very end of the paper that have more details.

Good luck, I hope this helps!

How old is the chick now and how much does it weigh? In general it's recommended to feed chicks 10% of their body weight at each feeding.
