These sweet babies are growing fast! This is the fourth week, week 4. This is when their colors really start to show and when they start to eat solid foods. During this time is also when they start to refuse handfeedings and start to wean. The oldest baby also learned how to fly at the end of the week!

Raising baby lovebirds are tons of work. It should not be done for profit and the babies and parents should be your top priority. It is also very important to find good homes for them with people who are knowledgeable and realize that Lovebirds are a 15 year commitment. There are plenty of issues that could occur when handfeeding and raising a baby love bird. Some of these issues could be sour crop, burnt crop, slow crop, splayed legs, malnutrition, stunted growth, and more. Please do an insane amount of research before deciding to breed two birds together. It is best to get handfeeding lessons from a reputable breeder near you and know the ins and outs of handfeeding, weaning, and properly raising baby lovebirds. It is also important to have an emergency vet fund and have your avian vet on stand by incase anything were to happen to the parents and the babies. Please also keep in mind laying eggs does pose a risk for the mother bird, she could get egg bound, or suffer from other breeding related ailments.
