hello, I have just had 2 x OB's fledge, how long until they become independant of their parents? Also do I need to seperate the young from the parents when they are independant?

Cute photos. Should be independent in around 2-3 weeks but you can leave them with the parents - assuming sufficient space and the parents have rings.
