Do I feed love bird babies

21 16:36:17

Question
My love birds have 10 eggs.  they are due to begin hatching this week.  My concern is what will the babies eat after hatching.  Should I be  worried?  I am gone most of the day and don't know if I have to hang out during this process.  

Answer
No need for you to hang out. Just make sure there is plenty of food available and the parents will feed the babies.

After hatching just check that the babies have a small yellow lump in the throat - that will be the food in the crop.


Come back to me if you have more questions later.
