If you are willing to start hand feeding depends on how old they are. from newborn to 2 weeks of age use a syringe they can have babyfood (humans) or formula for birds that you could find at the local pet store or even online and mix that with warm water freeze in ice cube trays then when ready to start feeding take 1 cube mix with warm water until texture is easily squeezed through the syringe. at 4 weeks or older you can start introducing newer foods like:

Cheerios, sunflower sprouts, pea shoots, millet spray, cooked corn nibblets, cooked carrots *chopped to bite size peices*, hard boiled egg, mashed potatoes with no additives, pellets from pet store you may want to dilute them in a little warm water to soften them if they are close to 4 weeks it may be a little too hard to chew. hope this answer helps!

Mother lovebird rejects a baby.?

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.

will the female lovebird feed the baby bird in my cage you have mother and baby bird many of them telling that female wont feed baby bird you are scared what can you do for that?

Female lovebirds typically do feed their chicks, as they are nurturing parents. If you are concerned that the mother may not be feeding the baby, ensure that the environment is stress-free and that she has access to a balanced diet. You can also monitor the chicks closely; if they appear weak or not being fed, consider hand-feeding them with a specialized formula for baby birds as a temporary solution. If the issue persists, consulting an avian veterinarian for advice would be beneficial.
