I have been loyal to Nutribird A21 (green lid) for my lovebirds, but I don´t know what the availability of it is in Aus.

Are these chicks with their parents?

As the chicks are 4 weeks old now, it´s very likely the parents will do a good job weaning the little ones all on their own, but always good to have formula on hand. You can make it up per package instructions and then offer it on a spoon to feed them.

Some helpful handfeeding info incl. charts, videos, DIY feeder spoon;
Some helpful links about hand feeding and weaning:)
The video prepping formula in the link above is actually the Vetafarm video :tup:
