Hi everyone I am new member and got Indian ringneck parrot who's about 7 weeks old, don't know gender yet but we call it Kiwi and refer it as male. Anyone knows what's appropriate time to wean a baby?

Argh! Wrote a mega reply and lost it!
In short, 7wks feels to young and 12wks about right, but mine came to me at 6 and 8 months and I'm not a breeder. Are you handfeeding him/her?
IRN's are awesome parrots, Congrats

Thanks for reply yes I am handfeeding him with a spoon and I think he's boy cuz can see shade of darker feather appearing around his head and under the beak which I didn't see before and ofc it's too early to get it's colour yet today he took his first flight I was so surprised

I hope you can get help from the place you bought him. Hand-feeding has always sounded so complicated to me... and every now and then we hear a story of some terrible mishap.
You can use the SEARCH tab above to read about hand-feeding. I hope that helps.
Take care, and good luck to you and your wonderful new companion!

It's not hard at all to feed him man showed me how to do it and said should feed 2 times a day but he obviously is more hungry than that cuz in the mornings he doesn't eat much but afternoon and evening he's doing very well always checking crop and weigh him before and after meal.
