Hi, I'm new. Anyways, yesterday i found a baby lovebird, maybe it is is a lovebird. moving on, I bought it's food (kaytee's product). Well, it hardly eats and spent all day long sleeping, I'm not sure of its age too. So in this case what should I do? i'm really worried!

That sure looks like a young baby! I don't have experience with babies, but it looks so young that it doesnt even have all it's feathers yet. This bird needs to be fed often (formula) so you need to get it help ASAP. It looks ill as well. You said you FOUND it? Where? How? Please give some details as to how you came to have this bird. Did you buy it after finding it at a store, or did you literally 'find' it?

Please take this baby to an avian vet ASAP, or contact a breeder, or even a bird store or rescue. Someone with experience needs to finish hand feeding this baby, to get it to at least eat and get it to thrive. Not sure where you are in the world, but if it is daytime, please get help now! Waiting any longer can mean death to this chick. Keep us posted too!

They looks like a hybrid between a peach face and eyering lovebird. Where did you find it? Like outside or "found and bought"? In any case, it probably needs immediate veterinary care if it's not eating. Healthy unweaned lovebirds vigorously demand to be fed. I think you have every reason to be worried. Praying he/she makes it.

Kaytee's formula? Have you tried syringe feeding it? Pull up some videos on YouTube on hand feeding - always feed from the left side of the beak (the bird's left side).

I agree with others, though. If this little one isn't screaming for food, something is definitely wrong.
