As A Hand-Feeding Formula: Mix 1 tablespoon of Nestling Food with 3 tablespoons of very hot water – mix thoroughly.  Wait 60 seconds then add sufficient warm water to achieve the proper consistency and temperature. With the handle of a teaspoon feed the youngsters until their hunger has been satisfied. Keep the baby birds at a proper temperature.  BE CAREFUL! All moist food sours quickly, especially during the warm, muggy months.  Therefore, do not allow the birds to eat sour, moldy food.  Follow the above instructions carefully and you will be successful in breeding strong and vigorous cage birds.
 
Feeding Instructions:  For young hatch; mix 4 tablespoons of Nestling Food and 2 tablespoons of cold water – mix thoroughly to activate ingredients.  Add a cooked egg (Simmer egg for five minutes, cool, the grate shell and all).  Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Keep feed fresh at all times; parents will feed young and raise them to maturity. Breeding success has been achieved by using Nestling Food with the addition of an egg.
