Hi yogi_bear,
Welcome to fluffies.
I am afraid that I do not know the answer to both your questions.  |

In addition ...
Sometimes the parent bird will over preen the baby. If they are otherwise looking after it - just wait until it weans. But if this is going badly then you will have to pull the baby & feed it yourself.
I am not an expert but I've read a lot about this kind of thing.
IMO Never get into breeding, if you have no idea what to expect. Get some 'dummy' eggs for next time & substitute them for the laid ones. |
