61 day old baby cockatiels, can they be removed from parents

[pearce]

Hi all

My cockatiels have their own small avairy with a nest box in it. They had a clutch a few months ago and now the babies are 61 days old and still in the avairy with the parents. The mother is sitting on a new clutch of eggs that are due to hatch tomorow. Should I remove the 61 day old babies or will they be fine in their with the mother/father/chicks. Are the babies old enough to be removed at 61 days old? Thankyou.

They should be independent at that age. Do you notice either parent feeding them at all?

Thankyou Bea for the reply.

The parents do not feed the chicks anymore, this stopped about a week ago.

If they are weaned it should be fine and would be better for the parents. It could cause problems having teenagers around.

if the parents are not feeding them then they are weaned and should be removed asap
