| Hi there, I'm going to be a first-time grandma of some beautiful Timneh Greys! I am so excited as this is my first clutch. I have decided to let the parents incubate and feed for a couple weeks, as they enjoy doing this and I've heard the chicks weight gain will be very healthy. I want to put them on the best possible diet for the chicklets, what do you reccomend breeders? Is there a particular brand? Fruits, veggies? I need to make the best possible regurgitated smoothie I can (yum).

| Hi, I always like to give the Zupreem breeding forumula pellets. Goldenfeast bean mix and they liked Caribean South. Eggs, cooked of course. Sweet potatoes, cooked. Mostly lots of foods with higher protien and fat content than what they would eat when they werent caring for lil' ones

i feed all my breeders , pretty bird breeder select pellets. they do great jobs raising parent raised future breeders or birds that are going to be hand fed for pets, but pets are always pulled before their eyes open, at 10 to 12 days, as the babies will be much sweeter pets if they open their eyes to a people feeding them and imprinting them to people. letting thier eyes open in the nest box usualy makes for a much nippier pet.

| Stacy: I am writing you because your answered my last posting about Nanday conures. They originally had 6 eggs and now they only have four. The male seems to out of the nest more now. I keep looking but nothing happens the eggs that are left haven't hatched, but should within the next two weeks. I hope, I was thinking of candling them but decided against that for now. I hope something happens soon. If this should happen I plan on leaving the babies with the parents for two to three weeks and then hand feeding them. I have some people who want to buy babies any idea what I should charge. One person is a small pet store.
