Hand-feeding 11-day old baby dove

Hand-feeding an 11-day old Eurasian Collared dove chick using the cut-off syringe method. Much cleaner and faster than the method in my precious vid.
Note that every couple of seconds he pulls his head down and I level out the syringe. This is him taking a little break to get some air (I am not pushing on his head at all). I think I could have held the syringe higher, but I'm still getting the hang of it. This method does take a little practice.
