just had 1st babies and would like to know what to do now is there anything l should be doing like special food.
They get fresh vegies, seed and water, will not eat egg food.
What should l feed the babies when they come out of nest.
how long until they come out of the nest.
tried to find some info but can't find what l am looking for.
l have no idea about babies as this is my very 1st time having babies in nest.
what tree branches can you give them as l live in aussie and live in the bush.

Hi B,

if you used already the search function for diet, baby, babies, weaning, fledging etc.. try again maybe narrowing to each subforum (advanced search).
Read through Diet and Breeding subforums, lots of interesting info out there.

a great article about breeding by Rob, an awesome kakariki breeder:

hope this helps
