You can order online from a few different places.

www.mysafebirdstore.com sells them.

You need to realize that raising a clutch of baby birds is a very dangerous task, not to mention that they need to be exposed to all kinds of different vegetables, fruits sprouted seeds, and grains when they start weaning, NOT just seeds. Seeds cause liver disease and is the evil that comes out of owners' ignorance.

You can get it at pet stores or veternary offices or you can order by mail.

Tommy and Tammy have two babies of different age. One has spikey feathers and the other is still covered with yellow fuzz. They are taking very good care of their babies. The parents are proud of them and happy to let us see them. They have been letting us hold them and the babies are quite tame. They seem to like being held.

I suggest you let the parents feed them and you just be interactive with them.

Hand tame while still babies. Mine have already learned to step up and are not afraid of my hands.

Yes. We have tamed Leroy, who is a parent-raised aviary bird that is 7 months old, and has until now lived with 2 other birds in their aviary, in little over 1 week. He now knows step up, flight recall and we can touch him. Its very possible .
