newly hatched lovebird chicks

Question
My first chick has just hatched.  What is the normal behavior that I can/should expect from the parents as well as the chick.

Answer
Hi, David.  Thanks for posting!

Congratulations!  The adults will probably be very protective, aggressive, etc., toward you and anyone else.  They should take good care of the babies.  The baby won't do much for about 4 weeks, except beg for food, sleep, poo, etc.

Hopefully, you plan on pulling the babies from the parents at about 10 days old and handfeed them so they will be tame enough to handle when they get older.  For more information on this, visit my website:

Come back with any questions.
