I am hand rasing a clutch of green cheek conures for the first time, I've found a decent amount of info online and the feeding of them is going well, they take food good and all are healthy. I do have some questions regarding where to keep them ect. The youngest is 22 days old, oldest is 1 month tomorrow. I currently have them in a tank with a heat lamp, lots of shavings/tea towel to cuddle up to and they are all well. At what age tho would I move them to a cage? And typically when do they start trying solids and need a water bowl. Any other info first time hand raisers could use would be awesome, thanks!

They can be moved to the cage once all of the birds are fully feathered. The feathers should be fully grown and preened open (so not pin feathers).

Here is some weaning info;
