Pictures Advise for a baby love bird

[Wilson99]

Hi I'm new to this form I'd really like some advice for helping to wean my baby lovebird mango.

its above 6 weeks old and has shown no interest besides playing with its solid food. I dont want to rush it with weaning but I'm worried that it should be more Interested in solid food by now. the lady I got it from said it was eating a little but now it's not. I'm also worried about it losing to much weight. it's about 45g so and advice would be really helpful thank you.

Welcome to the forum

45g is a ok weight. Keep weighing her incase it drops.

When did you get the bird? Sometimes they don´t eat well for the first day. Each bird is different.

What foods have you offered?
I´m 100% (7 out of 7) successful with millet (on the sprig). Others use soaked pellets. Steamed veg. Blueberries.

Beautiful bird btw

Hi I've had mango for 5 days now. I have some millet in there mango has lots of fun picking it off but not eating it. I've offered pellets a lot of different seeds mashed up apple shredded carrot a little leafy greens. I'll try soaking the pellets to night to see if she'll try them and thank you your love birds are really cute too. and thank you for replying so fast.

Welcome to the forum Wilson.
What a beautiful baby lovebird.
Have you tried giving him a boiled egg?
I think 6 weeks is still young to be weaned off completely and to start eating Pellets. Try this solid baby food I posted in the picture my lovebirds, zebra finches and Kakarikis love it. Its an egg and Honey mixture.
