Baby Alexandrine

[anpas]

Hi..just got home a baby Alexandrine (about 8 - 10 weeks old) but since I live in Nepal, there are no formulas available for birds. I read about feeding them human infant formula. Does anyone know if that is okay or is there an alternative diet where there is no formula. Would appreciate help.

a long time ago when i didnt know there was ccommercial formula for baby birds, i used to make my own. all i did was grind up all kinds of diff seeds, corn, then i would cook rice and beans, i would get gerber baby foods, baby rice, and diff fresh fruits and veggies, then i would mash them all together to make very soft, mushy baby food for my babies. you can add water and warm it up for the babies at each feeding. you are gonna have to mash up the fruits and veggies, and mix in gerber baby foods at each feeding, but you can grind up a ton of seeds and corn to last you a while.
