Fighting for Life towards the Light. Micro & mate. Micro Macro ph. by #WhiteANGEL

The story is long, 20 days fighting for life.
Maybe I'll add here below the story tonight or tomorrow, not in the mood right now.
I just cross my fingers now, Micro, so I called him, is a baby Lovebird, fighting, he is a warrior and wants to live but his chances are very few.
In this photo, shot two days ago, he was sleeping in the incubator, warming at the sunlight in the few minutes we were rearranging and cleaning his warming nest. If he could stay with the parents, they would provide for the cleaning.

Edited: Six, I say six parrots have tried to feed him but his body doesn't want to grow. To, save him, we have needed to personally take care but he needs eating every 3 hours and cleaning every 2 or the risk to catch an infection would be letal. He needs special warming, an incubator as he is still naked and unable to stand, no plumes, the woollen berets are not a joke, they are essential for his freezing head. He has an electric tempered warming nest. At the age of 18 days his eyes were not yet opened. They opened just yesterday and it bothers him, especially because he is an ino (Albino or Pallid but with dark eyes). At the age of 3 weeks, he should be as big & strong as the mate (to the left in this photo). Either than this, apparently he is not suffering nor aking. He sleeps most of the time, apart when he eats the baby food. They have the same age but he is still microscopic !! He was born after 26 days, so, not meant premature, but his body doesn't want to grow. The appearance is of 1 week of life and, instead, he is 3 weeks old almost !!
When that happens, the newborn doesn't usually pass the first night. For this reason he must be such a warrior. The best proteic food & vitamins are not helping, no growing steps... He is still 1 inch about.

A consortium of aid
The parents (Violetta & Jury) had mysteriously abandoned the nest after 10 days hatching. So the 2 eggs were assigned to Sconsy, a sweet cockatiel flic.kr/p/2kWCWam who is a perfect hatcher (mother hen) with his partner Sconso but can't have children (all her eggs are empty). She was hatching her own eggs (she makes eggs at no avail even without a nest !). We added in her nest the additional two; her hubby helped hatching them successfully with her with much care. After 15-17 days the babies were born but the couple, who never had babies, didn't know how to feed them. One passed few hours after birth, Micro lived and was given to the Lovebird couple Biondina & Jean Pierre that were growing their own single chick of the same age. They took care well but Micro, notwithstanding their feeding, was starving, while the other one, strong & bigger was risking to squeeze the smallest.
We had to hurry up and organize hand feeding but he is so small that's even difficult with the tiniest syringe.
In the moment I'm up-loading my photo, he is still alive after about 18 days of steady cares. I hope for Providence.

Taking care or the smallest ones... Isn't it the Gospel?

None is forever but why are someone born for never ??
