My teels just had babies and I want to find out how long I should wait untill I let them out to fly? I normaly let them out all day but I want to make sure they do not ignore the babies.

I would wait at least two weeks. The parents need to incubate the babies yet and if they are gone the babies could get very cold. Once they start getting feathers they can survive a short time alone.
Plus,if they leave for a while, they might not want to come back for them. Good parents also will have one stay by the nest and the other out patrolling/eating food.
When you do let them out- watch them carefully. One should return to the nest every 15 min or so to stay with the babies. Usually, the female will not leave the nest except for short periods. If not- keep them in their cage.

just let them out as normal, but make sure that they actualy go to the babies to take care of them. If they dont take carre of the babies, they willl die, or you will have to hand raise them, feeding them every half hour. make sure they get all the attention they need. good luck!

leave them be, they need to be there to feed them, if they get distracted by being let out they may not want to go back to parenthood duties (i wouldn't if i were them)
