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!

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,
