Barbara2 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 When she stops showing interest or just takes a couple of nips and backs away. That's my experience but my experience is limited. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come along and explain it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yes, when she no longer is interested. That could take a couple of months I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes continue the handfeedings as long as she wants it, you do not want to stop doing it just because she gets to a certain age, let the bird decide when she won't take it anymore. As she refuses the feedings step up the solid foods and pellets to give her the nutrition she needs to develop and grow. Be sure to check out the stickys in the nursery room for lots of ideas and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
