http://www.nitasnest.homestead.com When the parents deserted this baby, I decided to feed him myself. He's 13 days old in this video. It was his second feeding after I pulled him.
If I'm lucky, the parents will continue to keep them warm till they are about 10 days old. If there is more than one baby, they keep each other warm past the 10 days when the parents stop sitting in the nest. But if not, I do have an Aviquarium brooder which works quite nicely. It's a top-heating unit that sits atop a 10 gallon aquarium and is thermostatically controlled.
how old is the baby and how many cc did you feed it?

@j23siempre He was 13 days old in the video. I have no idea how many CCs. I usually go by looks - judging how full the crop looks.

do you feed the really young ones at night?

I do. Every 2 hours for newly hatched. They only take a drop so it seems wise to feed them through the night for at least the first several days.
