simon - your local pet shop should have baby bird formula.
you mix it with human baby rice cereal. I cant remember
the ratio, but they should be able to help you. When they
are newly hatched, i remember the formula was real runny
warm formula and were fed every four hours, I watched the
crops to make sure they were empty. Around 10-12 weeks they
should be on a couple feedings a day and start eating seed.

also the older they get the more thicker the formula gets,
but then enought to still get through the syringe or what
ever you are using to feed them.
