i'm thinking several weeks..they can only get a few inches off the ground when they attempt to fly..the info i've found says they need to be taught to eat on their own yet still be handfed supplementally till six to eight weeks..and some people familiar with these birds say they are no older than two and a half to three weeks..so they'll be with me for awhile.
