Hey y’all, i’m hoping this is in the right category.
My family “gifted” me a lovebird baby from their recent.. clutch? They aren’t sure about his age and settled with roughly 4 weeks (???) old.
I was doing some browsing through photos and youtube videos and i’ve come to the conclusion that he might be close to 6 weeks? He’s still got a black beak, but he doesn’t have many of those fluffy baby feathers. Only a few underneath his wings. That being said he is trying to fly often; it’s very cute.
I know you can’t exactly tell age from photos but a rough estimate would be more than helpful! I was told to feed him baby bird formula (they gave me some) with a syringe or spoon but he doesn’t seem interested in it at all. He picks at seeds, oats, some fruit or whatever is lying about in his cage. Do I just let him be to feed himself or should I try and get some of the formula into him also?
I’d rather ask here than to my family cause I’m not entirely sure they know what they’re talking about
Here’s some photos I managed to get. (plus him stretching his wings cause it’s just so cute)
