UK! thanks top everyone for explain ing their expertise, even if I ever were to have breeding parrots that make eggss i would never ever sell them, all children deserve to be with mom and dad
This is silly talk. Chicks, like children, leave their parents when they are mature.
Expecting them to get along like a big happy family is unrealistic. I know. I have 2 adult offspring from my first pair.
Keeping every chick from a breeding hen could easily overwhelm you.
I do think this discussion is moot, though, because I don't think your male knows he is a bird, from how you have described him.
