Hi everyone! It's a beautiful day once again
And welcome back to Dexter's World Channel.
For all of you bird lovers, please don't skip this video
because we're going to reveal some important things
On how to become successful in hand-feeding our African lovebirds.
And I was very surprised to look inside the nest boxes within the cage.
because I've counted some 38...
new birds that are actually hatched in the individual nest boxes.
But we are going to harvest 10 heads.
of these, the larger ones, so that we
We will start hand feeding.
Well, of course, you know that if you are going
to hand-feed your baby African lovebirds,
It requires dedication, it requires even more patience.
because it demands our time, it demands our attention
because there are many things or factors that would hinder.
like the ants, like the lizards, or the predators such as the rats
So these are the things we need to keep in mind
And please witness as we are going to harvest our birds
I have this box here and we
I will fill this with baby birds
Come on, let's go. Let's do this.
Oh
I'm going to harvest your babies
I'm so sorry
So this morning, I was surprised to see
So many of these babies, and I'm so encouraged to hand-feed them.
because one box contains at least 3 to 4.
And there is one nest box that has seven.
So I have to do hand feeding in order to fast-track production.
And this is one of the options available to you.
You have to hand-feed.
Of course, we must keep in mind that this requires attention.
Because once they are already out,
They are already subject to predators.
They can be eaten by rats or anything else.
Anything could happen, so we'll keep them in a very exclusive location.
so that they may survive
So we will begin the harvest.
and we will only harvest those that are larger, meaning that
they
are
Already

let
me
tell
you
that
the
materials
for
hand
feeding
Of course this syringe, and then of course this ball
and then we have this plastic spoon and this
hard-boiled egg
So you'll just get a small portion of this hard-boiled egg.
and then you are going to mix it
Cereal? Speaking of cereal, I'd like to recommend the mixed fruits.
and the soy you can also
So, you know,
Use the rice powder and the banana.
but don't forget to mix it with a hard-boiled egg
And the most important thing is to use hot water.
The importance of using hot water
to cook a little bit of the soy
so that they become friendly to the stomachs of our birds.
If you just give it raw, meaning you won't cook it
And they are likely to suffer from diarrhea.
So this is one of the things I have learned.
I've been hand-feeding this kind
for more than two years now.
And the system we have adopted is working well for us.
and from time to time we are also
adding moringa
to the food
so you can see
here that the birds
that we have just
are slowly adjusting
to the new feeding system
because they are not accustomed to it
This is new to them, so we have to proceed slowly.
allow them to adapt the feeding system
and of course we can just gently, um, open the beak
to the side and gently push the syringe
so that they can eat the food, just like that, and I am
So positive now that this will survive
because the age of these is actually three weeks to one month
In my previous vlog, I said not to attempt to hand-feed.
your baby birds when they are still very young,
meaning at the age of 2 or 3 weeks.
We would like to recommend that they be hand-fed at the age
for exactly one month, or to make sure that they will truly survive.
And you will also see that...
They already have feathers, meaning that they can adjust.
in a new environment that you would place them
because they are no longer cuddled by their parents.
So very important to put this shredded material,
the papers, because this will provide them with comfort
and also keep them dry.
This is very important because if they become wet,
Then they feel cold and eventually they will become stressed.
And they will eventually die.
So, these are the simple things that we have to observe.
in order to become successful in our hand feeding
So, we have done the
first feeding and
They look satisfied.
They are sleeping.
And I suspect they will get very hungry after 2 to 3 hours.
So, around 3 o'clock this afternoon,
They are going to have their second feeding.
So, we are feeding them five times a day.
So early in the morning, we have to feed them, and then at nine o'clock,
the 12 o'clock, the 3 o'clock, and the 6 o'clock.
And it's very important, small, frequent meals.
We will not allow them to go hungry.
because if they are taken care of by their parents,
They are occasionally fed by these parents.
And since they are no longer taken care of naturally
by the parents, we are...
As surrogate parents, we have to take on this responsibility.
so that they may not die
and they will live as though they are being taken care of by their parents
So guys, I hope that you have learned something about
This bird farming is
one of the most lucrative farming
And it's very easy—you don't need much of your money.
Only you have to put in some dedication
and sincerity about what you're doing.
