can i give them milk? or maybe soaked seeds?

[stargazrt4]

[NatalyLuv2Swim]

[nutmega009]

handfeeding babies has never been easy and to be honest the fact that you don't get them mess is amazining cause i tell you when i use to feed them when i was younger covered in baby food and i hate when they walk around never sit still for nothing!!

[animallovercharlie]

theyre so cute! what type of lovebird are they?

[juhnrafael99]

how to train a love birds to not fly away if you let them out of their cage

i try to put out my bird in his cage but it fly away so i buy a new one i did'nt try to put again my bird because i scared that it will fly away again

[coyotx]

your bird is so hyper, my new baby parrot is very quiet, it just laying there and it doesn't make a sound. is there something wrong with it? do i need to take it out of the nest to have some light(black square nest). the bird looks about the same age as your bird.

[Jec2613ROX]

SOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE

[emkriebs]

How long are bird considered to be babies?? I call mine a baby... he is not quite one yr old yet... he acts like a baby!! LOL

[premraj18]

hey juz wanted to noe i gt a 14 day old baby and wanted to noe if i need to put it in a brooder and hw may times must i feed it a day coz im schooling

[animaguy35]

how long do the parents incubate the eggs please reply thanks :)

[stargazrt4]

@animaguy35 23 days.

[tammyx1997]

@stargazrt4  mine have been more than 23 days 1st time havin lovebirds

[pokeadictt]

lol! flapping wings when hand-feeding!

[ladykakata]

The littlest baby there, Pippin? Is she/he an albino or a Lutino? I just noticed the red eyes and pale feathers there

(Forgive me, cockatiels are my birds so I'm fuzzy on Lovebirds!)

[stargazrt4]

Pippin is a Creamino. :)

[Navyseal925]

what if the baby lovebird has crooked legs is there a way to fix this.?

[stargazrt4]

Does you bird actually have "crooked legs?"

[Navyseal925]

yes and they are babies about 2 1/2 weeks old...how do i fix the bird?

[Hendrik0027]

@Navyseal925 You probably have the answer already, but if not, yes you can fix splayed legs if the bird is still young enough. I have had two baby's with splayed legs and was able to catch it early enough and correct the problem. Look up splayed legs on internet and you will find lots of information.

[Icywar]

hi my lovebirds has laid 2 eggs, for about at leat 3 weeks, and is it ok sometimes if the mom goes out of her nest for awhile?? bcuz i hope the egss dnt get cold...and hw long does it take for them to hatch?

[Onionboy32]

om nom nom nom

[Navyseal925]

so do u get seeds and grind them then feed it to the birds?

[stargazrt4]

No, we use Roudybush Handfeeding Formula. Go to our store to buy it! :)

[GeneralAnimator]

aww sooo cuute ^^

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

cute I have one lovebird and I'm planning to buy another one, do you think that there might be any problems, will they be friends right away?

[Icywar]

no it will take some time..somtimes even MONTHs for them to get along, its a process where u have to be patient with them, and once they get along they will then depending on the season like Jan to MArch they will have eggs..

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

and how to raise the little ones, they need a nest off course but is that the only thing?

[Icywar]

well leave that up to the Parents..they wil do it naturally and even collect shredded paper to us,

[Montux2]

How often do yo feed them ?

thanks , Bye .

[AlicevsNemisis]

I love this video. Please post more, I used to have a love bird but she is gone now and seeing this makes me feel better. I love lovebirds Thank you for posting this video.

[stargazrt4]

Thank you, but we have lots of videos. Just click our name.

[LGSofficial]

what temp is to hot for them so i don't burn my

[chrismax777]

can i have ur birds :3

[blueiceplayer]

is it ok to leave your baby lovebirds that hatch to be raised by the parents and not interfere if they are taking care of them, and let them feed them and all that?

[stargazrt4]

Yes. You will have to spend extra time helping to socialize them when they start to wean though.

[blueiceplayer]

@stargazrt4 thank you. I have a fichers and a peach face and the fichers laid some eggs but she has before and they've never hatched but this time 2 of them did, and have decided to keep them and want them to grow up ok lol.

I'm shocked though she is extremely caring and delicate with them, normaly she isn't that nice and is always moody and sharpens her beak like a needle lol was scared for the babies at first. the peach faced daddy is the opposite and is always gentle, but it was hand raised

[stargazrt4]

@blueiceplayer Hmm. Well this means you have hybrids. That isn't really a good thing and is frowned upon in the lovebird community. It is highly likely that these babies will be weak genetically and physically. The hybridization is probably why the previous eggs did not hatch. Good Luck, but be prepared.

[blueiceplayer]

@stargazrt4 yes, I don't intend to breed but I don't want to kill them or get rid of them, so I intend to keep them and hope everything works out of the best and no more babies!!!! lol

[xXForeverRandomXx]

hi, i have a couple more questions....

I may be getting a female for my male cockatiel and if they have chicks, i want to handfeed them.

#1 when do i start handfeeding them?

#2 Can i get the handfeeding formula you recommend at the pet store?

#3 How do i clean the serenge/Feeding tube?

Thanks.

[stargazrt4]

Please email us.

[Galv1nBass]

Look at the cute little tail! So cute. :D

[tinoguanlaoIII]

what are you feeding them? nice video :)

[stargazrt4]

Roudybush Handfeeding formula. We sell it in our store under breeding supplies. It's the best formula and we don't recommend anything else (nor does our vet).

[Navyseal925]

when do they start to learn how to eat on their own?

[pitsirika07]

like 2 months old

[Navyseal925]

psss. are you sure? cause if you've seen a 2 month old lovebird ,they dont look like they need to still been handfed.

[stargazrt4]

We start the weaning process at 3-4 weeks just by feeding them some solids. They will wean between 6-8 weeks depending on the bird. Most wean around 8 weeks.

[Navyseal925]

That makes more sense....thanks for the info.... and how do you know when the bird is full and needs no more feeding?...i wont ask anymore questions...

[stargazrt4]

They refuse to eat formula.

[Gracie05452]

How can you tell when they're full? BTW they are so cute!!

[pencilluna10]

wow how do you guys know how much to feed them and where did you get the baby feed or whatever its called lolz

[draggydrugs]

Hi, do i have to separate the babies from the parents? THANKS!

[stargazrt4]

nope.

[budgies121]

aww THIS IS SO CUTE!!

[nebilmetalhead11]

hi and im wondering my lovebirds are in the nestbox and only get out to eat both of them and im wondering how do i know if there bonded

[countrybwoy420]

Well 1 sign they are bonded is the male will feed the female and if ur not sure dont put up a nest box coz the female would just go in the box,u want them to socialize 1st,let them get to know each other for a while then u can put up a nesting box.

[nebilmetalhead11]

they both get in the nest box but they dont feed each other the breeder i bought it from said there bonded but if they both get in is that good or should i take it away for a while

[twilightlover018]

i have baby parakeets that are 2 weeks old and my friend iss giving my a baby lovebird too!!

[ThePinkYoshi]

i have a black masket african lovebird with green bodies and only one egg hatched so far and he/she looks like yors but like the colors of his parents but the other two didnt hatch (only had 3 eggs) so what should i do with the eggs?

[stargazrt4]

Throw the eggs away that did not hatch.

[nebilmetalhead11]

because i wanted them to mate or breed them

[stargazrt4]

Hibraddah, please do your research before you think you can give lovebird advice. There is NO black-masked Ficher's. There are Black-masked Lovebirds and Black-cheeked Lovebirds, but No BMF. Opaline is a mutation of PF's so that comment is also pointless.

[chaelaun]

what you think about my lovebirds please watch

my female parakeets have an egg

is that true when you touch the eggs of parakeets it will not fertile or it will die is that true

please reply im worried

[hawaiianpixie9895]

my lovebirds just laid a few eggs 4 only 1 survived but they kicked it out leaving me to take care of it, I feed it the baby bird food the pet store gave me but i started to notice hes rather small. any tips on feed him? hes about a week old

[stargazrt4]

Please go to our blog for more informaton. trueloveaviarydotblogspotdotco­m

[XxDxb76xX]

how long do you have to handfeed them?

[stargazrt4]

Until they are weaned from 6-8.5 weeks.

[twilightlover018]

do they all have red eyes when they are first born??

[thepsptoolguy]

well the male lovebird keeps eating the eggs we got him another girl but he rejected her i just want some tips on how to get the male to stop eating the eggs the breeds are fishers and blackmasked fisher

[stargazrt4]

There is no "blackmasked fischer's." Please do your reaserch before you get into the responsibility of breeding innocent life. You're trying to produce hybrids plus you are not even spelling "fischer's" correctly. You are trying to produce hybrides which is a big no-no in the bird world which breeders do not do. Some birds eat eggs, you can not get them to stop. But what is more important is that your bird have a great life. Give him his origianl mate back. Would U like it if I took your mate?

[hibraddah]

I meant there is a masked fischer. Sorry about that since i rush responding to comments. You should get some opalines and fischers;)

[stargazrt4]

Cool dude, but they are only called Fischer's not Masked Fischer's.

[thepsptoolguy]

i have a question what are the conditions of the parents becuase mine a lways mate but the male eats the eggs they had one before but sadly died i would realy appreciate some tips ,thanks

[stargazrt4]

Please define "conditions."

[spartan051100]

this a really good video i hav a lovebird named paco

[cheekyMonkey725]

why do they flap their wings everytime u feed them?

i don't know much about birds obviously, im just curious to know

[stargazrt4]

It's a baby thing called a baby tick.

~Rodney

[Blagru]

Very Cute

[Talloweed]

Poor little Pippin! He's so tiny.

[mar1541]

where can you get free ones?

[mar1541]

hey,can someone plz tell me how much lovebirds cost,maximum and minnimum? thanks!

[stargazrt4]

free-$3000

~Rodney

[Kohylaki]

WOW!!! when is the best time to start feeding my baby? it's 12 days old now :)

[fashionismejuli]

OMG , u have so many little loveebirdeeeees-how many do you have exactly? I'M A BIG FAN OF BEBE !!! Tell bebe i luv her !!!

[stargazrt4]

11-23. Than you, and I will tell BeBe you love HIM.

[izanana]

but when i bought my lovebirds,the aunty told me that lovebirds can't talk

[stargazrt4]

1 in a 1000 talk and it is normally the females.

[crzydonuts]

cute! i love lovebirds! they r adorable!

[pollybird101]

Aww!!! There so cute! I wish my love bird could be as small as them for just one more day! There adorable!

[mshockey73]

Your birds are adorable..I'm looking for a hand fed lovebird right now but can't find any breeders close where I live :(

I see you're in NC.

[sjdhv]

Hei Where can you buy the formula?

[gotlakers]

what do you guys feed them.

[shablie]

omg what are these? im guessing they are pied.... voilets?

[stargazrt4]

Well, you are extremely smart, great job! They are Ditch Blue Pieds.

~Rodney

[shablie]

they are soo beautiful. ive only owned after 3 months old so ive never seen after a featherless state. thank you. ive been looking them up like crazy because im planning on getting a new one.

[FASTnNEFARIOUS]

Hi again,

I just watched a video on parrotparrot and she feeds her lovebirds in the opposite direction as you. So, which way is the correct way? Does it matter which side you aim the siringe? I like your way better cause it's cleaner and you also sound sweeter ;0) Awesome video!

DJ

[stargazrt4]

Our way. We were taught by a Board Certified Avian vet and seasoned breeders who have been breeding even before avian medicine was thought of. Feeding in this direction makes sure that the food goes down the esophagus and not the trachea.

~Rodney

[erniesimsfan50]

Do both parents help raise the babies? What is the males role once the eggs hatch? I only ask this because I have 1 male and two female lovebirds. The two females don't like each other, so I keep them seperated, so one has their own cage and the male and one female share a cage. The male mated with the female he is not housed with repeatedly. If she does lay fertile eggs as a result of this, do I need to put the male in with her? Thanks.

[stargazrt4]

Dad feeds mom and helps feed the babies when they get older.

[timoxomit]

Great lovebirds! I'm planning to get one because they're eyes are very cute and most of all, it's because my parakeet died a week ago from oldness :_< So I still have cage for 2 or 3 small parrots like lovebirds. My mother also likes them because they are very cute!

P.S. I know how to handle them but I don't want them to breed, can anyone tell me if I can buy just one lovebird for a start cause I read an encyclopedia and hey told me that if it is alone, it will always try to get your attention

[Melissatan96]

I have like 20 lovebirds now... how do you stop them from breeding??

[stargazrt4]

You treat the parents like pets and family. Let them out of their cages to play, spend time with you, and forage for their food.

~Rodney

[violetwitty09]

very cute... like the fact you keep track of how much each one gets :)

[gostflame380]

i might be getting a baby yellow love bird.

i can't wait til i train it...!!!

[snake1mi]

You got cute lovebirds. Ours gave 6 babies, and I cant wait to see their colors.

[mikshefoord]

great video, i am just getting into lovebirds, what is the food you are feeding the babies, with, thanks

[TETurkhan]

The birds are so cute! I would love to be able to hand feed one to form a closer bond but to do so every 3 hours around the clock is a near impossibility for me on my schedule.

Kudos to you guys

Sure the birds love the attention they get as much as you like giving it to them.

[stargazrt4]

Thank you for the compliments, but hand feeding does not guarantee a bond. A bird does not stay with their parents forever, they go away and bond with a mate. The same is in captivity. Tamara and I also work full time jobs as teachers and administrators.

~Rodney

[ihearttheused7]

I have to say I love how you named them Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin :) LOTR Hobbits is the way to go

[seandoyle4671]

hi fellow bird lover I breed budgies and now also have 2 pairs of lovebirds and so far have 6 live eggs.Parents doing well .. can i just ask what type of formula you use im in the uk.Many thanks videos are a joy to watch sean ...uk.

[stargazrt4]

Roudybush! And thank you for the compliments.

~Rodney

[brinuuu]

my baby blue lovebird is very quiet... why is that? he does no sound

[mbsells77]

Feeding a little fast to be honest. I let them stop for a second then start again.

[stargazrt4]

Don't worry, it's not too fast.

[stargazrt4]

The tempo is set by the feeding response of the chicks, not us. Every baby is different, and it is up to them.

~Rodney

[staggerwingjtstw]

thank you so much for your videos, please keep posting them. my bird loves hearing them, she came from a large family to only her and i think it makes her feel better. i wish i lived where you guys do, i'd love a baby from you. you obviously care very much for them.

[IKnowAliensROutThere]

im getting a creamino peach-faced lovebird tomorrow...I CANT FALL ASLEEP

[sjdhv]

ahhh he's sooo cute!!!!!!!!!!

[dvmdoggie]

Tammy and Rodney....please help. My female has 4 babies about 3 weeks old. My male died last night. What will happen now? What should I do?? Thewy have been a breeding pair for 4 years!! Should I buy a new male for her to help feed? Should I give them all away? I have no clue what to do. Please call me at 610-918-8397

Donna Winters

[Orthophobia]

Seriously, I love your job.

You're taking sooo much care of them!

Makes me happy. I'm gonna go play with my lovebird! ^^

[pooperthedooper]

i just love this video

[stargazrt4]

Thanks! :)

[zeropointprophet]

when i mix the powder mix

[zeropointprophet]

i just use warm tap water

[stargazrt4]

Warm tap water may not be hot enough. The formula needs to be 102-109 Fahrenheit.

[lovebirdboy305]

you have inspired me so much i got 1 baby lovebird and i loved taking care of it that this saturday im going to get another 1 tyvm.

[andylinder]

are lovebirds noisy? im thinking about getting two but i dont them if they are going to be too noisy

[JANIS98]

They are noisy. But they are good apartment pets. But they are worth it!! :)

[msvandieman]

excellt vidio you are amazing.

[msvandieman]

Excellent. My lovies just had two babies today & we are waiting on 2 more eggs. I cant wait to be doing this and now I know how to do it, well I can see how someone else has done it.

[Vine95]

wht are you feeding them??

[stargazrt4]

Roudybush Handfeeding formula. The best formula there is.

~Rodney

[pooperthedooper]

r u guys like vets??
