Hi all, We bought our Green cheek (male) and pineapple green cheek (female) about 3 years ago now and this is the first year they have had babies. They've laid eggs before but wanted nothing to do with them. This year they laid about 6 eggs (first one about 24th August)and we have 5 beautiful babies(first baby born 17 September). We have left them in the nest with mum and dad and have left them to raise them. We now have 3 starting to gets feathers and tails, 1 is a little smaller and just started getting some feathers and the last one that looks like it was born only recently.
Since we have never had baby birds before we don't know a lot.
I'm wondering when they will start coming out of their nest or when we can start interacting with them? Mum and dad are both very protective of them and don't like it when anyone is in their cage or nest box.
Any advice would be good.
