You can start to wean baby cockatiels from handfeeding when they are about 4 to 6 weeks old and begin to show interest in solid foods. By this age, they should be nibbling on seeds and soft fruits while still receiving some formula. Gradually reduce the number of feedings as they eat more on their own, aiming to stop completely by 8 to 10 weeks. Always monitor their weight and health during this transition to ensure they are thriving.
