Birds are 9 weeks and still not weaned?

[Josiemv]

both of my baby lovebirds are 9 weeks and they still aren't weaned..should I be doing anything? They only have the mom caring for them.

Nope. Leave things as they are. Chances are they just aren't confident enough in their own abilities to eat completely on their own. It's highly unlikely that mom is the primary source of food for them, just giving them snacks and this would still be happening if dad were in the picture. :)

Yeap, just leave it as it is. They might be inconfident, or just lazy, or their mother is overprotective :whistle::whistle::whistle: :rotfl
