...without first speaking to a veterinarian since hand feeding babies can be tricky and possibly even lethal if you are not doing it correctly. If you cannot find a commercial formula, try the following recipe: -3 tablespoons of high protien baby cereal -1 1/2 tablespoons of wheat germ -1 1/2 tablespoons of millet meal -1 1/2 tablespoons of sunflower meal -5 drops of a multivitamin for birds. Blend all ingredients to a fine powder and then mix with warm water to a soupy consistency.

    There are a number of budgie hand rearing formulas on the market with Zupreme being my favorite. However, I am not sure if it is available in India. I would not recommend trying to make your own feeding formula
