Hello! I'm Sam
I have been hand feeding my 4 week old lovebird baby since she/he was 6 days old and keeping her in a brooder i made with a light bulb and the temperature doesn't go lower than 30C /86F - because the parents had abandoned her.
I've noticed she is growing a little slower than normal - from what i've seen online - and recently she has started refusing the formula (I keep the formula at the right temperature, not too thick consistency). I tried offering millet but she spits it right out and I also offered mashed hard boiled egg and she seemed to eat that, but just a few tiny bites. Her crop hasn't been full in 2 days now, and I am worried she is not getting enough food to survive.
Any help is appreciated!
