In my opinion, 12-weeks and not before.

I puchased a Quaker Parrot when she was about 7 weeks or so. But she was handfed and we were handfeeding her when we got her. She is such a love, and maybe you should try to handfeed the baby birds, it makes them better pets in the long run. JMO.

When they are feathered and you see them eating on their own, the mom and dad should kick them out of the next box and quit feeding them altogether. I always put cockatiel bread in a small flat dish to get them eating first.

all depend on what the buyer is looking for... if they want to hand raise baby from young to insure bonding and trust its about 3 weeks old....... if for ppl that just want young bird its about 5-6 weeks ...... hope this helps

at around two months and a half they could be on their own
