Peachface babies
Thanks for everyones help, sorry to keep asking questions but its amost impossible to find anything on the net in regards to hand rearing peachies. Thanks especially to CrazyBirdLady. Hope you are still out there, cause I have one more question I hope you can help me with?
Your response made a lot of sense re handrearing a 5 week old. Was worried that he wasnt eating enough. He'd start off well then refuse to open his beak, if I managed to get it open he would spit it out so thats when I would stop thinking hes telling me he has had enough, but compared to the tiels he doesnt seem to be eating much. I also cant find any pics of what they look like as they grow feathers etc, so estimating he is about five weeks. Yesterday I went in to feed him to find that he was not in the basket, did a search around and he had jumped out and was sitting on the vaccum cleaner. So put him in a small carry cage, with some soft nest stuff and scattered some seed and broccoli plus some water in a dish. This morning he was sitting on the perch in there. Is he more advanced that I thought? What stage am I looking at if he is propping himself up on a perch? Again I apologise, I am familiar with the growth of tiels but this is my first time with peachies. They are so much smaller!
