tell me what i can do?
i dont know his exact age , but he is with me near 1 year now
he is using supplement a bout 3 month

I personally would seek out a good exotics vet and let an expert trim the beak to get a good bite action. Let us know where you are and also look at the vet section at the bottom of the page of postings. Hopefully we can link you to a good vet.

As for hand feeding, be patient, and when he begins to feel better and biting is easier, indulge him with favourites placed in front of his mouth, and when he is hungry I would be surprised if his instincts don't kick in!
