Handfeeding Compilation

A very brief "how to" on handfeeding. The birds won't leave here till they have gone a full week without a handfeeding, but I plan to send a bit of handfeeding formula home with each of the grey babies so that the new owners can offer a nightly feeding to their new kids for the first few days in their new homes. This will help ease the transition for both bird and human. I wanted to show how I mix the food and feed the kids, so it will be easier for the new owner if they've never done it before.

Some people feed a lot thicker consistency than I do, but if it's too thick you have more of a chance of it not digesting and causing problems. I'd rather go a bit thinner and have to feed a bit more often.

Glad the video helped and good luck on the lovebirds! They're a riot to feed. There is a point where you reach into the brooder and they all latch onto your fingers and hand! I remember lifting my hand with four kids just hanging on by their beaks! Budgies do the same thing.
