YES feed them.....Don't stop hand-feeding,[or miss a feeding] this will go on for a long time, a couple of months or more, I'll advise you when to drop a feeding. You must be patient!!!! It's a lot harder job to wean a bird then get one already weaned..

ok ill feed them like norm..they are having a good day.playing with there peppers...im sure its going to take time to get them to just eat food with handfeeding them.they are doing real good...with foods.I want to take mine to the vet in a few weeks but my friend dont want to take hers.so, i may put it off till my friend takes hers home.

thanks aGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP...dont know what i would have done with out you.

It's grey't that these babies are playing with their solid food so well. Unfortunately their not eating enough to keep them alive. Read the label on your formula and see all that's in it. Spock took 26 weeks to stop eating formula, plus all the other bird food and veggie' we gave him...A lot of babies stop at 16 + weeks. You can't rush the weaning time, the babies will let you know when they don't want any more formula and that,s a long time away. When your babies get ready to fly, there going to want to stop eating, everything, They'll be more interested in flying instead of eating, you have to make sure them don't stop eating. Eating the formula also stimulates solid food eating.

If you would, please post their morning weight. Always weight them after their big poop each morning before feeding!!! You can get a digital food scale at Walmart, etc, fairly cheap, the spring scale don't work good. If they won't hold still get a small bowel, weigh it first and then weigh them. Thanks Jayd,

Here's Spock at about 10 weeks old, they grow fast!!!
