i am hand raising my green cheek conures by crop feeding. they keep throwing the food back up. i have treated with a cider vinegar mix then progressed to nilstat, thinking that they may have a candida infection in the crop,tried syringe then spoon feeding, but nothing has worked, they are approx 5wks old

I think the best thing would be to get your babies to a vet. You don't want their growth stunted or worse. One thing that comes to mind is possibly a blocked crop. They are old enough now to be trying to taste things they find and not experienced enough to konw what is edible so if they are on a bedding material they could have swallowed some.
