You may have better results if you try this.

Place the bird on a soft surface, come over the top with one hand and gently place your thumb on on side of the mandible and the index finger on the other side.( as if your pulling a pickle out of a jar) This will provide you with much more control of the head/beak and allow you to easily guide the tip of the syringe into the beak , minimizing spillage.

any tips? i gotta get mine fed quick

[quotagirl]

Go to your pharmacist & ask for a small syringe (usually free)If you don't have professional bird pablum, use whole grain childrens' pablum. Make it a liquidy porridge that can easily squeeze through the syringe. Make sure it's tepid/hot, NOT hot/hot.

CONGRATS on the new family! How many?

[winddy]

very nice....

I can see how much you love them...

your the kind of hand feeder that these birds need. Lots of love and patience...

as for the comment about going from the right side... Power feeders have to aim directly to the right side so that they don't aspirate the baby...

this hand feeder is going so slow, that it isnt a problem..

;-)

thx for sharing

[tigressitablanka]

ehh you are not suppose to feed bird on the right side ???
