Question
one of our mothers has abandoned her 4 babies. they are about 2 weeks old. I am happy to hand feed them but want to know how often and is there anything else I need to do.
Hi, Melinda,
Visit my website for all the information you need: www.angelfire.com/falcon/birdinfo/index.html
There's lots you need to do, and quickly, too! My website has paragraphs that discuss handfeeding, setting up a make-shift brooder, weaning, etc.
www.birdchannel.com is also a good website.

Expertise
I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.
Experience
Over 20 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.
Education/Credentials
American Federation of Aviculture, completed Level I course, Fundamentals of Aviculture. Keeping/breeding parrots and other birds for over 20 years.
