Instructions
Form a mixture of food for the dove chick. Create a consistent mix of canary rearing food and water according to package instructions.
Put the food mixture into either a syringe or plastic baggie. If using the syringe, fit a feeding nipple onto the bottom. If using the baggie, cut the tip of the bottom corner off using scissors.
Hold the chick gently in your hand, but make sure it can't fall out. Use a soft blanket or cloth so the chick will stay warm and comfortable.
Place the syringe or plastic bag near the chick's beak, but do not place it inside the beak. Instead, allow the chick to reach for the feeding device. Allow the chick to feed for a reasonable amount of time, but do not overfeed the bird.
Wipe away any excess food and repeat the process every 30 minutes.
