That’s so sweet you have so much love for them & that is the love talk you do with them ♥️
you're so loving with the little babies- adorable!
They're adorable 💗 I can see that you are a good owner :)
They bring me a lot of joy and that's why I love and respect them with everything I have in my heart.
OMG OMG SOOO MANY BABIES ALERT ALERT CUTENESS OVERLOAD
Love your postings. Your voice is sweet wuth the babies and relaxing to listen to. Home seems really happy.
It was a happy home with these babies around
They’re so cute!!! ❤️❤️❤️💕💕
100-113 is a huge range. Birds can get slow crops at 105 and can burn at 112. 108 is recommended
And that’s why she kept dealing with sour crop.... lol
You’re right. I found recommendations for food temps between 102-106
I have done lots of research and im getting my litle one in 4 days! I have had other parrots in the past like budgies and cocatiels but never a lovebird! Im so excited!
Furry. Paws good luck!!
@Mustiboi Salman thats a bad idea if you want it to bond with you
@Mustiboi Salman they are happy as long as they have a good companion, be it a human or a bird
Cockatiels and budgies aren't parrots
@@evagerritsen1605 yes they are lmfao
Wow Lady! You've had your hands full
so loving...loved watching!
They made me very happy.
Oh thank you so much you really help me about feeding
Hi there,
Thanks for posting.
Our babies are between 2 and 3 weeks. Have read the advice below, so will handle and replace with parents daily... We would like to tame them up a bit more than the bought parents😬
Very exciting
Thanks for sharing!
So cute babies🐦🐥
This is such a cute and very informative video. Thank you 💕
Glad it was helpful!
Lol there your babies thank you for this video and the information you give its very helpful
thank you very helpful
so cute
Beautiful birds, had to hand raise 3 clutches from about 1 week old as the mother rejected, LOTS of work lol. I used pellets mashed up with a tot of water, worked well, all are alive and healthy 11 to 14 years later.........
Excellent, excillent and excellent.
Regd.
Tank you it helps me very much! You are a good mama👍😇
Happy to help!
Your babies are beautiful!!!!!
They are very pretty indeed. They belong to a friend's aviary Casa de Lovebirds. :-)
Lovebird Nursery why do u mix the formula with room temperature water and then warm it up? I'm using kaytee and I use hot water to mix the formula.
It mixes better when done gradually and no lumps. I no longer use Kaytee
yes. shes 5 weeks and 3 days. thanks!! :)
It is very cute
So cute I love baby love baby my 3 love baby
Lovely
Soo cute
im a little lazy so i let momma and daddy bird do all the feeding. even if i tried, i wont able to due to my work schedules. thats why most of my birds are not well tame.
That's OK, but it's still possible to tame those chicks, whenever you get time handle them few times a day, very importantly after 18 days of old. They'll be very social with humans since young so tame as well.
@@sharathyadav954 The parents wont reject it if I take the baby out it to handle it & put it back? Or how should it done? I want them to be tame but I don't want to feed them because I don't know how to
@@kimberlygomez4310 No, parents won't rejected them. If those chicks are above 16 days old, you can handle them twice a day morning & evening for 5-10 minutes. Later handle them 3/4 times a day after 25 days old till they become self. Remember once they understood you're not their threat, they'll think you're a part of their family & love to be with you. so be very gentle & empathetic. All the best👍💯 ☺ please let me know how it goes ☺
And how do you do it so neat 😂
your very good
😍😍😍
Thank you. Now im even more sure my baby is male. When i put my hand it was his sister that begged for food while he puts his head down. Yay i got a boy
Its ok , i talk to my love birds also....
Hi thank u for love and caring them,How are they now?
Hi, and thank you for your video's, they have helped so much, my love birds are expecting their first clutch of babies, . I'm so excited, At what age do you recommend I start hand feeding them. I was thinking 2-3 weeks. I watch all the videos I can, None I have found mention how many times a day to feed, and does this change as the babies get older, thank you for all your input
You don't have to hand feed them if you don't want to, the parents will feed the babies till weaned but if you decide to do so here is a link that I go by : www.lovebirdsplus.com/handfeeding.html
Thank you for your videos on hand feeding. Can you help with loading videos on broken legs and or hips
wow animals being born
😭😭😭This reminded me of my lovebirds that recently passed, had them for 8 years
Oh, No! So sorry for your loss dear. :-(
How do you keep them all straight? I am having trouble keeping track of two 😂
I need help today I got a baby love bird the breader I got the bird from told me he knew how to hand feed but it seems he don't everytime I try to feed him he doesn't open his mouth I have to open his mouth and forcefully give it to him not so hard of course and if I put him down and try to feed him he run away or go under my legs or in my sister pants or he just sit still and close his eyes and he's calmer than the first bird I used to have what should I do is this normal
So cute.. 😍 Yesterday my African lovebird's firstbegg hatched. Do i have to give them feed from this stage or need to wait for few days?? Confused!!! Please help.. waiting for the reply
@Naula Naushad thanks a lot Naula for the reply ❤ Baby is 3 weeks now and the parents are amazingly taking care of the baby 😍 baby feathers started growing.
@@hi-vc1gw drat budah thanks for the reply ❤ Baby is 3 weeks now and the parents are amazingly taking care of the baby 😍 baby feathers started growing.
Hello, just wanted to say thank you for posting this video because it helped me alot when i got my lovebird. But I have a question, my luvvy is 6 weeks now and is only wanting formula, I've been putting fresh fruit and veggies and also pellets and a seed mix with millet too but he won't consider it. Do u have any advice on what I can to so I can start weaning him? I'm scared he's going to always be dependant on the formula! Thanks for taking the time if u get to read this!
Sorry for the delay in response, the get weaned after 8 weeks of age.
Just received one from a friend, he said it’s on 8 weeks he said still need to hand feed until he rejects the formula. Today I tried to fed him but I didn’t know it should be fed like this fast push/press on the syringe as it might choke him. So i just press the syringe little by little like drops on his mouth. And not much.... maybe just 5cc. Is that ok?
I love your channel!!!!!Whats the formula called that you use ? And when my lovebirds have chicks do i really need a brooder or can i just put them in a box and cover them up?
And the only thing im confused about is how to wean them onto solid foods like seed can you do a video on how to do this? 🙂

Lovebird Nursery thanks i am in the uk. Will i need a brooder ? Or can i just put them in a carrier like you have done and then cover them up with a towel?
can you please say the brand of that baby formula?
wow
Hi. Do you hand feed your babies from hatching? I'm about to do this and I'm soo nervous.
why do i feel like putting the formula in the mouth was to fast?
maybe be a little slower..
She did do it too fast
All about perspective. You have yours and I have mine, none are wrong or right. You have your way or caring for lovebirds and I have mine, as long as they grow happy, healthy, loving and cute that's all it matters at the end. Stay blessed
I have to force them to eat because they don’t open there mouth and they are 3 weeks old
this helps us thank you
wait do I feed to THEIR left or MY left ?
Hello friend
Feed from their left side of the beak.
we r doing it. works well from their left pointing towards their right. apparently its their right side but going in left and pointing right is good
I just got 3 baby lovebirds but they don't want to eat the formula. What can I do?
How old are they?
And also how many times do I have to feed it if it is 3 weeks old
Hi. Can you help me how do I mix Handfeed mix I want to feed my love birds babies
Can you put a lovebird with a small cocatail in the same cage? And do you have to remove the male lovebird from the female while laying on eggs? Thank you for your time. Be Blessed. How many eggs can they lay ?
hello :) I am a lovebird owner and I just want to say do not put those birds together. At all. They may be tame or whatever but the cockatiel can kill the lovebirds. When a lovebird has baby, no you do not have to take out the male and I would suggest not to. He feeds the female while she is laying on the eggs, he takes care of her while she takes care of the young. The average number of eggs they can have is 4-6, but you can get more or less.
just want to ask what should i give to a 5 week old lovebird because she doesnt want formula anymore?
Are you sure she is only 5 weeks old? Kaytee cockatiel pellets mixed with canary seeds. I would still try to feed her the formula 2 times a day 8 am and 8 pm. Best of luck!
How old are this beautiful babies? So adorable🤩🤩
They were 3, 4 and 5 weeks old in this video.
do you have to hand feed? newbie here,
getting prepared. haven't hatched yet
Did you use a incubator
When do i stop feeding them the formula??? My baby bird is 3 weeks and a day old.
I know this is beyond late, but you stop when the bird stops wanting formula
Hey when is a good a good time to take the baby's from the nest I have hand raised budgies not lovebird it's my 1st time but don't no when to take them out of the nest
From what I understood after doing research on it you should wait until they are at least 2 weeks old. Having my first nest of lovies for the first time too (4 eggs under mommies belly now), and I wasn't sure either.
Can u guys plz tell me the temperature of the food in culsious? Thanks!
i think that it cant be to cold or warm so you should make the food luke warm
41°C
How Can i Feed the Fresh Hatchlings?
Wow 😍 what a beautiful video 💖
Hello, is it OK to keep 2 male love birds together ? I love love birds but problem with them is they are very aggressive. So need some clarifications from you because I only trust experienced / expert person.
Am I too late to respond?
@@LovebirdNursery Not really, please let me know ☺
It is sad to see such a good informative yt to not post any more😢
Don't lose hope my love, I will start a new Nursery in the near future, pray for me okay ;-)
Lovebird Nursery 😁
I want to hatch a lovebird but do not have parents, when do I start feeding them?
@@willowhenry9839 ?????
Fear not my love, I will post more videos. Xoxo
your underrated
How old are they when you start hand feeding them?
Hi!! thanks for the video. My lovebird just laid 3 eggs a week ago, but when I go near the nest, the bird gets defensive, that's gonna be a problem when I try to hand feed the babies right? And I was also wondering should I start feeding them the moment they are hatched or wait a few days?
You can only hand feed the babies after they are 3 weeks of age. They need the nutrients that the parents provide them in the first 3 weeks. Because this is your first time feeding baby birds I suggest you watch a lot of videos on how to hand feed. Also start to hand feed your babies when they are 5 weeks of age and do 4 feedings a day. 7 am, 12 Pm, 5 PM and 11 Pm.
$70.00
The first time i had baby lovebirds they would feed each other do yours do that??
Only the parents know how to feed the babies and each other.
Do they eat up to 9 ml
I know it's okay, but wonder if it's okay to inject food a little bit slower when feeding the baby birds?
Yes it is. You may feed them as fast or as slow as they want you to. Male babies usually eats less and slower, the females are a big faster eaters and eat a lot!
How do i make sure they dont choke to death while handfeeding then
how long is the formula good for once it is made? also my lovebirds are 11 weeks but i still find myself hand feeding them.....i have introduced egg food and seeds with fruits to them but they seem to be wanting to be hand fed regardless i also give them millet sprays
They are only supposed to be on formula for 8 weeks, you need to place their food on the bottom of the cage so they can start foraging. Place newspaper on the bottom, a dish with water and spread the seeds or pallets around with a millet treat. YOU MUST NOT REUSE THE FORMULA ONCE IT'S BEEN MIXED, it could cause crop infection. Never feed them formula while the crop still have food.
Lovebird Nursery ok but how long is the formula good for once it has been made???
I know now how to feed little love birds . Im waiting now to hatch them.
Idc what anyone says but newly hatched birds are the ugliest fucking thing on planet earth and then all the sudden they because adorable in a few weeks
Is it safe to push all the formula into their mouth in one bolus? The bird can't die from accodental food aspiration?
Yesterday i bought 2 roseicollis at the same age as yours, and they don't accept so much formula (nutribird a21)
They eat just fine, if they need air they tell you by stopping eating. Once you been doing it for as long as I have you learn to read they signals and body language :-)
Go back to the breeder to teach you exactly their eating habit to be safe.
Hi. What age are the chicks in the vid? thanks :)
I have a sun conure bird which bites I can't put my finger down without it biting me bad so what should I do
Slowly get him used to you, chances are the little guy wasn't hand raised or hasnt been handled in quite some time at least. Start off by just sticking your hand in the cage to show you arent a threat do not attempt to touch the bird and dont shove your hand in its face. You can also offer treats like seed from your hand to get the bird to associate you with something good and be less reluctant. Its a long process but do some more research, offer seeds out of hand, and work on getting the bird to approach you, do not force this.
my birds laid eggs and i’m trying to learn as much as I can but I’m planning to separate the babies from the parents at 3 weeks so how many times a day should I feed the babies and how many ml/cc?
Feed them every 4 hours from 6 AM til 11 PM, make sure their crops is empty before feeding them. 9 cc
@@LovebirdNursery thank you!
when you are done feeding them do you put them back with the parents or keep them in a brooder/incubator?
I keep them in a brooder, pet carrier covered with a blanket or towel.
Lovebird Nursery is it a diy brooder? Or did you buy it?
Lovebird Nursery and what do you use as a heat source?
I just place them in a carrier and cover the top with a blanket.
Once you cover the carrier with a blanket, the babies keep each other warm, when they are 2 - 3 weeks of age I place a stuffed animal in the carrier so they can sleep under it if they get cold.
How many times each bird should be feeded..?? because the first one she fed three times and rest one and some two ....so I'm just want to clarify..
Lydia Devi until their crops are full... and also i think she knows which are male which are female. Females eat more
What do you use to disinfect the tools you're using? :)
Boiling water.
How warm is the room u have them in ?
Any room of your house and whatever temp that if comfy for you is for them because they stay in their little crib thing. They keep each other warm, I place a baby blanket over the crib brooder too.
What is the thermometer you used .can you send the link
Looks like a regular meat thermometer if I were you I'd go to a pet store and get a reptile thermometer for the brooder to constantly monitor the temp and an actual thermometer for taking the temps of people for the formula, its more accurate
I need help urgently
I bought a baby love bird yesterday and is refusing formula even today what should I do?
I just now saw this message. Did the baby make it?
Q manera más rrara de hacer papilla..q complicacion
Please answer ASAP'' how can i keep them warm' '
Heat mat under the box but only put it under one half if them wanna go other half to cool off.
How do you know before feeding if their crop is definitely empty
You can tell by looking at the crop,. It wont be like a bump..
Touch it! You can pinch the crop gentle. If you keep them on a feeding schedule you will know too.
Do u mix that thing with cold water or hot water
Warm water. The water has to be warm like a baby warm milk bottle
Pls can you tell me how many Terms had to feed for a day??
Pull out the baby birds at 3 weeks of age to hand feed them every 4 hrs from 6 am until 11 Pm. Make sure their crops are empty before you give them formula. This will ensure that the baby doesn't get sick from bacteria. ☺️
@@LovebirdNursery ok thank you so much ❤️
How do you know when to stop feeding them
I give then 3 siringes of 3 cc. The male babies tend to eat less than the females, when they are full they also tend to back away from the food.That usually happens when they are over 6 weeks old.
Name food?
help my bird is 30 days old and he's not active he stays at the corners and not eating
If he is refusing formula and seems lethargic then vet right away. When symptoms appear you dont usually have a lot of time to get them help, birds like to hide it, and this is especially concerning if its only a 4 1/2 week baby. Find a vet that either works on birds a decent amount or is specifically an avian vet (those are better)
+Christopher Greene its too late he was cured but he got killed by a cat that got into our house. he was just 50 days old around that time..
What can I do if my 6 week baby love bird won’t eat from the syringe? Is there a way to help her want to eat? :(
Hi, Marie. Maybe, the baby is a little older than 6 weeks? Maybe it's a male and they eat a lot less than the females. Maybe you have a little female bird and females develop a little faster than the males (less needy) lol...Whatever the reason, don't panic! Try to feed the baby bird regular seeds, pellets and never forget the millets! Millets are important to give them at this age.Cover the floor of the cage with newspaper and then place the food on the bottom so the baby can start foraging for food on it's own. Make sure you start the baby bird with canary seed/pellet mix. Best of luck!
Lovebird Nursery ah okay! Thank you!!
When do you separate them from the mother
When they are 3 weeks old.
How old are the baby's ?
They are now 6- 7 weeks of age. In this video they were 3 -4 weeks old.
Where can i buy these formula?
How much times do you feed the baby Birds a day?
Every 4 hrs starting a 6 am til 11 pm
How many times do i have to feed them is once a week enough
Once a week?? Baby birds? Baby birds need hand feeding every few hours. Adults that have been weaned onto fruit, veg, pellets and seed once or twice daily
@@123animalcrazy what if i give them alot of food i dont have time to feed them everyday 2 died all ready on me
Then you don't have time to keep birds at all. Fresh fruit and veg can't be left out for a week. Feeding must be daily. Seed and pellets at least every few days
And are you talking about babies or adults?
This has to be a joke. You don't deserve to have ANY birds or animals for that matter
How often do you feed them
when I remove them from the nest at 3 weeks of age, I start to hand feed them every 4 hours starting at 7 AM until 11:30 PM
How many times a day to eat?
Depends on age, if you seach it on google and go through some different websites/ compare the info you will get your exact answer. But never trust one source
HI do u sell your lovebirds price ? and do u ship ?
dennis f how do you ship a bird
Yes. Adoption fee for one of my babies will be between $110 - $150. Shipping is $70 flat rate.
@@LovebirdNursery WOW, that's a bit overpriced, don't you think? Or is this to avoid impulse buyers?
Cheers.
Hello. I have a baby Lovie and I’m starting to hand feed. Right now s/he is 27 days old. He flat out hates the syringe, and refuses. He starts regurgitating even when his crop isn’t even full yet? I have the set up and I heat it to the right temp. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong? If anyone could help me out and give me some advice I’d greatly appreciate it.
Hi Libby, How is your little baby doing? Were you able to get him to start eating?
The Alex and Lexi Show He’s about 42 days now and I’m working on weaning. He’s doing great and flying! He never got used to the syringe and I’m still doing hand feeding once a day. Idk why he hates it so much. 🤷♀️
Syringe name......
