Hi,
Me again:D ! I was just wondering...what's weaned mean? I'd like to know some of the other terms you guys use for lovies or birds in general so I can relate more to words that I can learn:). thank you:rofl:

Weaned means that a baby no longer needs the assistance of the parents or the breeder to eat. It means it can eat on it's own. It usually occurs around the age of 8 to 9 weeks for a handfed baby ( a baby fed by the breeder) and a little sooner for a baby that is fed by the parents.
