Question
What do i do when my love birds have layed eggs and some have hatched but they are not feeding the babies? help before it is to late

Answer
You'll have to go and purchase some hand-feeding bird formula and you will need some feeding syringes appropriate to the size of your bird. It is best to place the babies in an aquarium and you will need to keep them warm; heating pads work best.

Follow the instructions for the formula; it is quite a chore, as the babies will need to fed every couple of hours for some time.

Best of Luck,
Blessings,
