All baby birds rank very high on the uglyometer and are very fragile at this stage.

You need to keep them (and their food) very warm.

A heat lamp and a well ventilated container will do the job. Change those paper towels often.

This food works great. If you follow their directions, you"ll do fine.

Bird feeding syringes work best. Eye droppers make the job more difficult.

And, a handy technician like Kellie Greenwood helps. She"s hand fed lots of hookbills.

Eating machines -- blind, naked, non-flying, non-walking -- entirely at the mercy of their parents (or Kellie).

Here"s a couple that have already been fed -- totally incapable of standing up.

You"ve probably heard the expression "Naked as a jay bird."

Feed from their left side. They need help at this size. As they grow, they start insisting on grabbing the syringe.

Occasionally you need to turn them up to expel any air bubbles in their crop.

Gently inject the tasty (?) gruel.

Load him to the max every two hours.

Gently skoosh out any air bubbles in their crops. Re-feed every two hours.

Not bird-like yet. Note the substrate. The paper towels need changing at every feeding.

As they grow, their eyes begin opening and you get a glimpse of their future colors.

As they grow, they start fletching. You can get some idea of their colors now. A yellow and a blue.

Changes start happening more quickly. They start looking more and more like actual birds.

Now you can tell he"s a bird -- maybe not what species, but certainly a bird.

Still fletching. Very bird like. Still staggers and looks scraggly.

Dipelihara Dari Bugil Hingga Berbulu [ www.BlogApaAja.com ]LA
Still not eating on his own, so he gets his crop stuffed again.

Dipelihara Dari Bugil Hingga Berbulu [ www.BlogApaAja.com ]LA
Easy to tell their colors now.

They still need Kellie, their foster mom, but not so many feedings per day.

Dipelihara Dari Bugil Hingga Berbulu [ www.BlogApaAja.com ]LA
Now they"re ready to go in a cage and learn to stand on a perch and to chew and eat their own food.

Dipelihara Dari Bugil Hingga Berbulu [ www.BlogApaAja.com ]LA
They"ll still look at you and try to coax you to feed them for awhile.

Dipelihara Dari Bugil Hingga Berbulu [ www.BlogApaAja.com ]LA
But best of all, they think they"re little people and aren"t afraid of you. Hand-fed birds make the best pets.

You"ll still need to trim one wing to keep him from soaring like an eagle.

Dipelihara Dari Bugil Hingga Berbulu [ www.BlogApaAja.com ]LA
You need to interact with your hand-fed birds daily. Don"t just keep yours in a cage.

Now it"s time for him to kiss his mommy goodbye and enter the real world.

Last Words. We don"t recommend taking your hand-fed bird outside. We live in peregrine falcon territory. One of our customers was relaxing on,, his deck with his tame quaker parrot enjoying the evening breeze. Suddenly a peregrine swooped down and absconded with his quaker parrot. LA
