weaning age BF amazon

Postby nicky » Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:44 am

i have seen a post on another forum claiming that a blue front amazon is fully weaned at 10 weeks :shock: , this cant be right is it ,surely they take 14/16 weeks like greys to fully wean , is this another case of force weaning :(
can you please give me a correct weaning time for them .

i was pretty sure it was more then the 10 weeks the breeder sold it at , she sold it as fully weaned but provided hand rearing formula with it "to help it settle in " apparently its taking 3 feeds a day of this :(
