my cocktails (male and female) lay ed off 4 eggs like 4 weeks ago. they were very protective with the eggs all time. when the first egg hatched they took care of the chick very well, they were feeding it and protecting it every time i wanted to see it. Then they threw out an egg from the nesting box, ok so i thought they figured it out it was death already. So the next days when I tried to see the chick and if a cocktail was out of the nesting box he would go into it quickly they were very protective. Today when I got home i went to see if the other 2 eggs were hatching, but I didn’t hear the chick any more so I saw the nesting box empty and the cocktails were out in the cage and didn’t care any more about me looking at their eggs they were both eating, they never did that only one could go out and then return to take care of the eggs. So I saw the the nesting box and i couldn’t see the chick so i opened the cage and the nesting box. Nothing was there only an egg, so I search the chick everywhere, until I saw it, it was death and incomplete in the nesting box, and now i dont know what to do with the pair of cocktails, they ate and killed their chick, threw an eeg out and left another one there by itself. I don’t like them any more how come they do that. now they don’t care about the egg either. Please someone help me!!!!! i need help from someone that knows about birds. why they did that? they are like screaming like never before help!!!
