found abandoned bird egg and not sure what to do

[[email protected]]

Hey we found a small bird egg on the ground and we were surprised to find a living chick trying to hatch inside. He is cheeping a lot and we are unsure on how we can help it hatch and what to feed it. We are unsure on the breed but think it may be a rainbow lorikeet but we are not sure. Please help

Oh no! Did you check if it fell from a nest? The nest might have got invaded by a hawk or other predator. You need to keep it warm, like 34 degrees for first few days. There's plenty of info online about how to do this stuff:

You could try contacting a local facebook group and asking if there are any parrot breeders who could assist.

Calk your local game warden. They may be able to come get it and take it to a rehaber or give you information on how to contact a rehaber.

Keep it warm at about 100 degrees with a lightbulb and a digital thermometer sold to put in lizard tanks at a pet store. pet store will also sell baby parrot formula or at least they do here in the USA. Google how to hand-feed baby parrots, it's doable but very time consuming.
