Aspiration can be deadly. But if it happens again, there's a simple technique that can help save the baby sometimes. This is from Susanne's ICR website:

yes, the baby is ok. i think that's what happened...... i feel so bad for this little baby......he is so weak and cold. i have him bundled up in a towel close to a portable heater.

If the baby is chilled, that can also cause slow crop. You can use your own body temperature to help warm him up - if you have a light cloth bag that lets lots of air pass through, you can put him in it and hang it around your neck inside your shirt!

Do you have access to a good avian veterinarian? That might be the quickest and least stressful way to get help for the baby. Most dog and cat vets know little or nothing about birds, so you need one that has bird experience and specifically knows how to deal with problems in babies.

im just glad it was coconut water, and not formula...that would've been bad.

Any kind of liquid that goes into the lungs is bad because it can cause an infection called aspiration pneumonia. But hopefully this didn't happen and the baby coughed all of it out of the esophagus before it went that far.

no, i don't have access to a avian vet. that's why im so frantic! i gave him about 1 cc of coconut water, should i give him more? that theory is possible..... he has been in a towel beside a heater all night...but i thought he'd be warm enough. i mean, i would sleep with him, but that would be very dangerous, as i toss and turn a lot!

Make sure he's good and warm before you give him any more liquid. Do you have a heating pad? You could put him on top of a heating pad with a towel between him and the pad. But BE CAREFUL!! Babies are delicate, and if it's too hot it can burn him. Normal body temperature for a bird is about 106 degrees, and you don't want it to be any warmer than that. Human body temperature is less than this, about 98.6 degrees, and this temperature works fine for keeping birds and eggs warm.

We do have a heating pad! My mom just said she thinks it will get too hot. She thinks I'm doing everything wrong which is really frustrating. The baby is still continuousely opening its beak...any idea what it could be?

I am so thankful I'm homeschooled! If I was in public school I don't know how this would be going.

Is the baby breathing normally? As long as it's breathing OK, the situation isn't too dire. It's possible that the baby has a little bit of food in its throat (not in the windpipe) and it's annoying, just like it is when you have something caught in your throat. An adult bird will stretch its neck up when this happens and open the beak like it's yawning.

With a small baby, you can put them in the nest to let the parents/siblings keep them warm. But that won't work at this age - the parents stopped brooding a long time ago and the babies have stopped clumping together.

A hot water bottle or rubber glove can be used to provide heat. This is one of Susanne's collages:
