If, in very rare cases, the mother lovebird rejects one of her babies you are forced to hand feed. Handfeeding is the process of basically hand feeding them with bird formula specially designed for baby birds. However, handfeeding a baby bird at day one is not recommended as it is not getting it's mother's nutrients. Possible reasons for the reject may be that the mother thinks the baby is too weak, you peeked into the nestbox too much, you pulled the babies one at a time for handfeeding, etc.
