High Maintenance Bird

We've been caring for the bird until now but were not able to feed it at night. Here is what we do and tell me if we should change our schedule: We keep the young flightless bird under a lamp during the day and a hot water bottle under the basket during the night. From 7:00am to 9:00pm we feed it every hour. Anytime it has droppings in the basket we change the tissues. The basket has a towel and tissues above it then the chick rests on it. We feed it crushed up worms and apple sauce. For water we give it our freshed water. At feeding time we drop the food in and let it swalow then give it fresh water. Goodbye, Birdman
