Keep feeders up when hatchlings are flying??

Should I take down my feeders when parents are training hatchlings how to find food?

Hi,

You shouldn’t change anything. If you are asking about moving the feeders to a lower point in the cage, you can add some extra dishes at a lower point where the chicks can reach them easier. But if you move where the adults are used to eating, it could cause them to stop caring for the chicks, because they might think they don’t have enough food.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
