If you had aspirated your baby, you'd be feeling a whole lot differently today. Fortunately, you didn't and your baby is thriving. I cannot tell you how often we have to console first timers who weren't so fortunate.
The point is this: its TOTALLY avoidable. Let the breeders earn their money.

I agree wholeheartedly. Even if there is a really good chance the baby does survive and thrive, the chances of them doing so are simply better with an experienced handfeeder and the chance of having a baby bird suffer and/or die are not worth the risk. If you insist on doing it yourself, go and learn how to do it properly.
You know aht REALLY bugs me? WHen people ask for advise from a bunch of caring people and they get all snitty when they don't like the advise given. Then they suggest they go elsewhere untill they find answers they want to hear. As Yehuda said, these laws were not created in a vaccuum, there was/is a need for them. Grow up!
