baby mourning doves -momma bird left them-help!?

yesterday afternoon i found two baby mourning doves on the floor on my porch, i looked up and found the nest so i put them back up,i figured the mom would come back, but now they fell again and they are very weak and one looks like she may die. What can I feed them? and can i bring them inside? or do i keep them outside? Thank’s for any help!!!!!!!!!!

Will Parakeets starve them selves?

My older parakeet hates her food, my mom said she will get the one that she likes Tuesday. My question is this. I have nothing else to feed her but the food she refuses to eat. Can my baby make it through the night and afternoon with out food? She has been eating millet treats, but that is it. My Parakeet won’t starve her self right? Birds don’t starve them selves do they?

Thanks for the help.
God Bless you all†

If you believe in prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ, please please pray for her.
She does have food in her cage right now, just not the one she likes.
It was a new food, that we by mistake got. We just went out today to get the right food. How fast should I be removing the millet treats? I want her to get use to eating the real food again. If I put a apple in with her, one who has never had it, would that be a bad or good thing? She is about 6-7 years of age.
She is back to normal and active. Thanks for the prayers and help. God Bless you†

We got the the old food back, and she is eating. Praise God†

I have questions, my baby grey comes home tomorrow? I was told to keep her in her cage the first day. I disag

Also, I was told the she should be in her cage most of the day, 20 min. out in the morn, 20 in the afternoon and a 20 min. before bed. Anymore than that will cause her to have cage issues. Do you believe that? She has a pellet mixture (Zieglers & Higgins pellets) for the day, veggie mix for night. What do you think of the diet? I was told I can give her some fresh veggies and a small piece of fruit each day. In the afternoon she can have a piece of spray millet. This is what she’s been eating. She still gets one syringe of baby food at night. I’d like to get her eating an all organic diet as described in Alicia McWatters, “A Guide to a Naturally Healthy Bird: Nutrition, Feeding, and Natural Healing Methods for Parrots.” Heard any good things about her approach? My baby grey has been off antibiotics since Monday. Should she see an avian Vet before bringing her home or should I give her some time to get acclimated to her new home first? I just want to do the best or her. Thanks

what would make this happen,baby birds just a week old doing good that morn then that afternoon dead on ground
