We have a baby love bird that is about 9 days old that the mother or father looks like pecked the head and threw it out of the nest. It has a little blood spot on its head. How do I keep this lovebird alive what is the best thing to feed it
He needs to go into a brooder to keep him warm.
If you don't have one, you will have to DIY one, you can do this using a critter carrier and a heating pad underneath one end. Line the bottom with a good few inches of aspen shavings. You can use coarse pine if no aspen. Avoid fine pine as it can be easily ingested/inhaled. Never ever use cedar (toxic!).
