Hi folks,
Any help or advice will be very much appreciated.
So I had a pair of lovebirds which I had bought a year ago as babies and gave 4 eggs around the time of September 19th, first time parents.
2 of them recently hatched and I am kinda clueless on how to take care of them. I had taken the extra precaution to ensure there was no breeding environment, however such is nature that they made their tin food bowl into a nest.
Now that the little ones have come and are coming into this world, I had a couple of questions for their care.
1. Can I leave them as is for the parents to look after them.
2. When should I take them out so that I can provide a proper nest bed to shift them, something that would provide the hatchlings with proper footing to avoid splayed legs, can I take them out, fill the food bowl with wooden chips and then put them back in?
3. If I was to take them out - what is the care, environment like, what is fed through the syringe and how often are they fed, for how long.. Can they go back to their parents afterwards?
Anything anyone want to add please do so...
Thanks again.
