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.

Baby Bird?

My sister found a baby bird outside. It’s almost grown, but it needs a few more weeks and we can’t find it’s nest. We decided to take care of it until it grows up, but what do we need to do for it to keep it comfortable, how do we feed it, and what do we feed it?

How can I take care of 2 little birds felt from the nest?

I found 2 little dove or something little birds, they already have feathers, no bird mom nearby.

Do you know how to take care from them?, have them in a shoes box in the backyard, protected from any cat, with a dog, hehe, is it there any hope for them, how can i feed them?

Last night there was a lot of wind, the wind.

Why ask, if you don’t want the correct answer?

People ask what to do for a sick/injured/orphaned wild animal they found. At least 5 people tell them to call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, it is illegal to keep any native wild animal in the US without proper permits. They pick as best answer the one that tells them how to take care of the animal themselves. What part of illegal don’t they understand?

A person asks what not to feed her pet bird. Several people tell her not to feed it chocolate, it is deadly to birds. They cite avian vets and websites of experts to back up their answers. She edits her question to tell everyone she feeds her bird chocolate and it does not harm it at all.

If you are only looking for an answer that agrees with your preconcieved notions, if you are going to do what you want to do, no matter what you learn here, why waste your time, and the time of the people who give thoughtful, well-researched answers?

Budgie care?

Can someone fill me in on all budgie care. Here are some of the following things i NEED to know.
Minimum cage size
How many toys in a cage at one time
cage bar spacing
feeding requirements
vet care cost
anything else i need to know

Also i know a good petstore called Pet A Rama. I trust them. One time when i was buying a hamster, i was about to buy the most expensive cage they had when their rodent specialist came over and said it was a horrible cage. She pointed me out a cheaper cage that she said was much better and my hamster loves it. Also my hamster i got from the is the sweetest thing ever. I’m wondering rather I should buy a bird them or from a breeder. i bought the hamster from them because it won’t live very long. I figure the bird will live longer and i want it to be nice.
I really need help on the petstore thing. So should i buy it at the petstore or from a breeder? The bird will probably be long living member of my family….so should i risk getting it from a petstore?

Why the zebra finch male bird is plucking one chick’s tail feathers?

I don’t know what to do anymore…I have four chicks and the parents take good care of them. The problem is that the male bird plucks the tail feathers of only one of the chicks…I would have tried to separate them but the father is the only one who feeds the chick. This chick is diffrent from the others…he is all white…What should I do? How can I stop the plucking? The chicks are a month old. And the parents are zebra finches the CFW type.
The male is only plucking this chick and only at its tail.
