advice about hand raising a baby regent parrot

hi
i am after any advice regarding saving this little fella, he is approx 8 days old now i rescued him from a friends??? aviary his mum hathed him on the ground and left him to look after her other eggs he had been alone for 3 days...cold and starving.
i have been feeding him by spoon every 4 hours (roudybush and probiotic ), any sooner and his crop isn't empty, he seems to be comfortable at around 30 degrees in my homemade hospital cage any warmer and he starts panting...i just need to know if i am doing the right thing also if the consitency of the formula is correct ( crop only emptying after 4 hours ) i am totally inexperienced in this ... do i need to give him anything else. thanks in advance cathy
