Hi Emy and welcome to the forum!  I've never had a parrot as young as yours, but if I did, I'd follow the advice on the main site here: www.quakerparrots.com/?s=weaningGo down the page and start with the article called "Abundance Weaning." (By the way, you'll see seeds mentioned in some of the other articles, but I would not start out using them for weaning a Quaker. A small amount of seed is okay, but not all seeds are equal and they are best as a treat. A good overall diet for a Quaker is mainly a high quality pellet, supplemented by veggies and a little fruit.) If you have questions after reading, someone here will try to help. Good luck! |

Hi emy... and welcome to the forum. Since you have babies I hope you stick around and read some of the articles that have been posted here. There is a lot of information available concerning Quakers that you might not be aware of.
Best wishes with your new family.
