New Baby

Question
Hey!  How's it going?  Well I have found myself a new parent of one lovebird, the other eggs are not fertile, when do I remove these?   And my other question is if you have any advise for a new parent in this case.  I am a very proud parent and want to do everything to raise my babies the best way for a beginner;)  PLEASE HELP!

Answer
Hi, Michaylla.  Congratulations!

You can remove the other eggs that haven't hatched if their time for possible hatching has passed or if you are sure they aren't going to hatch.  

Since you have the parents of this bird, they will care for it.  However, if you want this baby to be tame enough to handle, you'll need to handfeed it.  Visit my website for information on handfeeding, etc.:
