Around 8-10 days I believe. I wait til I see pin feathers. I've done slightly older birds though.

Re: 8-29 Scarlet Chested Parakeets....Nesting time!!!!!
I decided to pull the young and hand feed them out, mom looked a bit exhausted. The pair did a good job for their first clutch. Feeding them out will make them a bit calmer, they are sweet. They took to feeding well and the oldest is starting to wean. The youngest, the only visual cinnamon is just starting to get in feathers (not pictured). I am using Roudybush hand feeding formula with a bit of unsweeten applesauce and pumpkin puree, they love it. The little cinnamon runs across the baby cage when she sees me with the food.
