Hi all,

When I joined a month ago, I had 4 new babies. Unfortunately one did not survive, but the other 3 are going strong. The biggest 2 have bright green feathers coming through, the little one has feathers, but not coloured yet. They are now 4 weeks old.

I want to separate them from the parents soon, as the parents are wild, and I want to tame the little fellas. When will they start to eat food on their own?

Thanks for any advice.

If the babies are 4 weeks old and still being fed by the parrents you can look at ± another 3 to 4 weeks at most. The babies starts eating on their own much sooner than being handfed and weened.
