My Love Bird Babies At 3 Weeks!
Hi everyone! These pictures are my baby love bird chicks at 3 weeks old. The 1st picture is the oldest, the 2nd picture is the 2nd born, the 3rd picture is the baby, the 4th picture is one of all 3 of them looking at themselves in the mirror, and the 5th picture is the parents of the chicks. The green love bird is the dad--"Max". The pretty blue one is the mom--"bobbie Jo".

They are truly beautiful!! I know nothing about birds, do you help the parents with feedings or do they take care of that? You know how sometimes kittens and puppies need to be helped along.
I love it when babies see themselves in the mirror, LOL They react in such a darling way!

Wow! How nice to see them. They are changing! Sweet. TFS.

hi landon, both parents share in the feeding of the babies. both adult birds are first time parents and they are doing a great job in feeding them and grooming them. i change the nest that i crochet with the scrap yarn and throw it away and put in a new one and that is it for me, the parents do the rest. i keep an extra helping of seed in the cage for the parents, since they are always feeding the chicks. i also handle the chicks everyday so they can be tame.

Thank you so much for sharing you babies with us. My husband and I use to raise parrots. We had cockatiels, severe macaws, Jardines, Cockatoos, Crimson winged parakeets, Blue Front Amazons, Parrolettes I can't even remember the others at this time. I loved the hand feeding, although it does keep ya close to home during those weeks. We did have 1 pr. of Love Birds, but couldn't get them to breed for us. I miss them every time I see baby pictures, but not enough to get back into it again.
Do you have any other breeds? I have always heard it is best to stick with one breed, and logically I know that is true, just could never get myself to do that ......lol.
Thanks,
Judi G
