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.

Hello,
From birth, usually after 45 days are independent

Congrats on your success OB chicks are fine to stay with there parents they dont usually cause any hassles for a few months.

Congratulations, ob babies are really cute.

Beautiful babies. We havn't managed any OB babies yet - they seem to be getting two nests ready at the moment?

Thanks all, feedback is very much appreciated.
