How often do I carry parent raised lovie baby in nest?

[Josiemv]

I have been carrying the babies who are about to be 7 weeks only on friday and saturday..everyday for at least 10-20 minutes. Should I be carrying them more? One left the nest to avoid me. But just barely since they just started coming out..they just perch on the nedt perch. Should I be doing anything to keep them tame?

Attention, attention and more attention! Handle them as much as you can, as often as you can. They are at that independent stage and they also want to explore. What you are seeing is very typical but keep working with them.
