Hi Jackie! Thanks for inviting me here so I can watch the babies progress! I'm very interested in the whole process! I'll probably never do any breeding myself & this may just be the closest I'll ever get to "raising" macaws, or any birds for that matter! I'm so fascinated with the whole progress.
How old are the parents? Is this the first eggs for this pair? What is it called, a clutch?

hi cathysmanu
great to see you here

the parents are called sausage and chips and they are both 8 years old

we only got them last year and we had 2 babies from them

cathysmanu while you are here why not go to the introduction section and say hello to everyone
it,s a great site here and the others would love to chat and see your pets too

Jackie, how long do the babies stay with their parents for?

3 weeks full time hevvur then we take them out during the day to give mum and dad a break and they go back in at nites
once mum and dad have had enough,usually around 5-6 weeks we take them out for good

Do you take over feeding etc then, at 5-6 weeks? How long for?

yes fully then hevvur
and it is for however long is needed
normally they are fully weaned by about 16 weeks
that is eating fruit,nuts etc on there own
