Lovebird Handfeeding formula recipe?
I know the best thing would be to buy the Exact formula but unfortunately i don't get it from where i live. A bird breeder suggested to mix up cooked rice with warm water with a drop of bird vitamin, but is that safe? Would it be okay if i feed the bird that way until i get the Kaytee's Exact formula? The bird-breeder said that his baby lovebirds had been feeding on cooked rice mixed up with water ever since it hatched. So does that mean that would be safe? A good answer would be appreciated. Thanks.

How old is your lovebird? A baby lovebird isn't really supposed to have solid food until they're being weaned, which is why I kind of don't like the idea of cooked rice.
Do you have the Roudybush formula in you pet store? It's really fantastic! If not, you can buy their pellets, their daily nutrition pellets, soak them up in 110 degrees water, and then mix them. The pellet will become really soft, mushy, and it will be easy for the bird to eat. I don't know if that works particularly well, but I remember it from one site. You can also try ordering online, if anything.
