Developmental Photo Gallery
The following gallery documents the incredible growth pattern of Psittacine birds. Photographs were taken on a weekly basis. The greatest physical development surge takes place during the third week of life. After that growth spurt the bird devotes a vast amount of energy to feather development and less to physical growth.
