Hand feeding baby birds

Right now I am helping my mom hand feed 3 peachface Lovebirds and 4 blue blackmask Lovebirds, this is how I do it. Before you start you need a small container like an aquarium with a heating pad under it, to keep them warm. You line the aquarium with paper towels so the lovebirds have something soft to lay on. You also need several oral syringes ( which you can get at you can get at any bird show or on eBay ), and a good hand feeding formula. You put it in a small cup and mix it with warm water to the consistency of pancake batter. Suck it up in the syringe. Hold the baby bird still, place the syringe in the side of its mouth and slowly squeeze the syringe until its crop is full. The baby bird will bob its head up and down to swallow, this looks funny but this is natural. Baby birds need to be fed every 2-3 hours every day in the beginning. As they get older you can spread the feedings out a bit and at 5 to 6 weeks of age they get weaned. ( That means they start eating on their own ).
