Re: What to feed a Rainbow Lorikeet by: Kralice4u
Hi! I am a breeder of Conures. I always feed Exact formula for baby birds. YOu can get it from the local petstore. There are other brands, but that is my personal favorite. As far as taking it from its mother to handraise, I have done it as early as a day old, but then again, I have over 25 years if experience. What I suggest to new comers is this: If the parents are feeding the baby, do not remove it from the parents for several weeks. Then after those several weeks, you can take it and handfeed it to get it accustomed to humans. Good luck!

Feeding baby birds by: Tracie
Dr. B can not help you with this. What you need to do is contact a breeder in your area that can train you and answer all your questions when things go wrong.
You can not depend on the Internet for the actual experience that you need to care for baby birds. You need to have people that will give you their phone number so you can call them immediately when things go wrong.
For your birds' sake, you need to get some experience. Offer to help a breeder so that you can learn all you can quickly.
