My babies make a noise that is more hiss than anything else I can describe. The older they get the more they flap there wings when begging for food.
I am hand feeding the youngest chick (Popeye) the parents no longer give it any food, just pluck his/her feathers.
Parents still feeding the other two babies but can not be kept in the same cage due to feather plucking.
All babies are eating some millet seeds + other stuff(pellets bread grated apple and carrots). They are all loosing weight and that is my biggest concern.
I have read that it is normal to have weight loose when they fledge but how much ?
at what point is it a danger?
The 2 older chicks are very active and both have flown short distances. It's the youngest one I am worried about. has less energy and looks to me like it sleeps more that the others. All I can do is give it as much food (hand feeding) as I can and hope for the best.
