Been there, done that. Not fun but the babies are cute.

You can raise them and find good homes for them! I’m not setup for more than two of my own, specially if they aren’t raised by the parents.

So you’re letting parents feed them? They must be great parents!

I try and let the parents feed them for several days but they are not very reliable. I take over when needed. At about 10 days I would pull them to hand feed even if the parents were feeding. My birds are not very consistent.

Even at six day old they are much easier to feed. They usually only need five feedings a day with a six hour break at night. Sometimes only four feeding s. It depends how much the parents have stretched their crops, the bigger the crop the more food per feeding and longer between feeding. Each baby is different. I feed based on the baby not a strict schedule.
