- Conure on handfeed
And uh....used to have 11 cockatiels but they died due to a virus(mind you these cockatiels were kept at 3 at a time max ocer a span of 2 years)
I got chickens tho
How are you all doing.
I recently got a baby conure from my neighbour whose parrot was not properly feeding the chick and had tl be handfed...its close to 15 days but its just a rough estimate and yes i have experience in hand rearing birds such as finches and budgies and cockatiels(im 15).
The issue is that everytime i want to bond with the chicks but they just want food even when their crops are full to the point where i feed them(because i dont usually oveefeed) but they keep begging.
I want to ask that when should i start hoping to bond with the chicks? I had one cockatiel that would want scritches at 3 weeks old but as we know every bird is different so what age should i hope for rhe conure to not see me as food but as family? I got him when his eyes were closed and he opened them after 2 days with me
