Quaker Parrots killed their 4 babies.?
My birds had 5 eggs and 4 had hatched about 1-2 days altogether. We were going to let them take care of their babies naturally, so we didn’t take out the eggs but we gave them food to feed the babies once they hatched. The 5th never hatched, so I have it set up with the light and everything if it does. Well, they had their 4 babies alive and about 1 or 2 days later, I saw them dead in their little cube box. They have a big enough cage and pretty much had everything made. I want to know what made the birds kill their babies.
Also, if they do have more eggs later on, we will take the eggs out once layed to prevent the killings again, but we are not planning to let them mate anytime soon. <<Just to let the bird breeders know so you all wouldn't get mad.

Cat brought the bird back! HELP?
Okay, she brought the SAME chick back after I used your advice to let it go, this is 10 hours after I let it go. It’s now bleeding, it’s leg looks crippled etc. I’m going to try and feed it, but I’m really asking for help here, thanks!

Baby Bird Help?
I found a baby bird and have tried to call local places but cannot find anyone at this time that would take it, so now I would like to know what should I feed it, how often and how much…this bird is able to stand and hop has feathers but cannot fly yet and is still a little unsteady at times. the birds size full grown is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a pigeon. not sure of the breed yet.

Getting pet birds to eat fruit?
We have a cockatiel that we recently adopted by virtue of its previous owners not wanting it anymore. I know that birds should be eating fresh fruits and veggies, but it seems that this little guy wants none of it. I’ve tried hand feeding it, and it seems scared of what I’m offering. I’ve tried leaving it in its cage and it wants nothing to do with it. Our other bird loves fruit, but this one just doesn’t seem interested. Any advice?

I live on the 4th floor of an apt complex and woke up to find mouse droppings on my balcony. Is this possible
The droppings are just in one section but look like they belong to more than what one mouse can produce. I see no holes in the walls and there are no drain pipes. I do know that my upstairs neighbor feeds birds above us. Is that related somehow? Is there something I should do? I’m freaking out.
