Hey i have three baby lovebirds and one isn't getting fed enough, in my town i have no access to bird formula. Can i use baby rice cereal/formula or does anyone have a recipe?

In an emergency you can use high protein baby cereal. This is a short term solution, so you still need to buy a commercial formula. If you can’t purchase it locally you will have to order it online because baby birds need the nutritional value they offer for proper growth and development.

Baby formula and a number of baby cereals contain dairy, which parrots cannot digest. It might give the little one digestive issues which you definitely don't want!

Can you order some parrot handfeeding formula online and get it delivered? Ones to look out for are
