Jan Thomas said in a message to Kathy Johnson:

    We occasionally handfeed finch chicks here, Jan, but only out of 
necessity.  Although we've raised some as young as day 1 by handfeeding 
(mostly Cordon Bleus) we typically haven't had to take over until the babies 
were a bit older and closer to weaning.  It isn't as difficult as most people 
imagine as finches have the same feeding responses as hookbill babies but 
they are easy to aspirate.
