Re: Question on what to do with eggs
Posted by Andie on 5/16/06

We co-parented (I guess you could call it that) our lovebird's first
clutch, and handfed the second clutch. The parents were not tame but
were used to us interacting with them everyday as they were in our living
room. I do think that made a difference with them letting us handle the
babies so easily. We didn't handfeed the first clutch at all, only
pulled them to socialize them then would put them back. The parents
didn't mind at all and all babies turned out very tame. It produces a
completely different bird when you handfeed. If I had a choice of the
two as pets, I would go with the parent raised/socialized. That's just
my personal opinion though. Good luck with your baby =).
