Well...momma bird is living up to her reputation. She's got another egg in the box now, and her babies are 6 1/2 weeks old. They're still acting very dependent on her and daddy.
I have some questions:
1.) why is she laying eggs still!? She's got babies, her daylight hours are short. She gets her cage and toys moved all the time, and it's frequently in the 60's in my room due to the cold now. Shouldn't that put her cycle on hold?
2.) I have to go on a trip for a week and the birds are going to a friends house. I've been co-parenting but since the babies learned to fly they are a bit more skittish and flighty. Is that week with no human contact going to really mess them up?
3.) How long should I wait before their first wing clip? They've been coming out and having some crazy flight sessions in my room lol. They're amazing at landing and maneuvering!
