Helloooo! It's been a while since I last sought everyone's advice (back in October when I had Dodgers ).
My lovebirds had some eggs again (5 eggs). Two of them hatched so far but the first one was yet again neglected by the parents so I have the second one in its own brooder.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!!! I was following a previous thread on here and definitely used the advice you all have given (I so happen to name my lovebird chick Phoenix as well for its orangey feather fuzz). So far, I have the aspen shavings in it's brooder, temp set at 96-98 degrees, didn't have anything small (stuffed animal etc) so I did knot two pieces fabric and surrounded the lovebird chick, and feedings have been given every 2 hours.
I feed the lovebird chick until I believe the crop is good enough, but I'm not too sure. I use a syringe and normally give it about 5-6 drops. I'll post a pic of the chick after it's feeding!
