Baby Birds, did I screw up?
I have a pair of Zebra Finches that mated. The eggs hatched about 4 weeks ago. I opened the nest box to check on them, and all four flew out. I had to chase them down and catch them to put them back. Since my scent got all over them, did the mother decide to reject them? They are about 4 weeks old and have all their feathers, but their beaks are still black and they don’t really come out of the nest box. Did the mother abandon them because i touched them?
thanks…I was worried. The female and the male were both staying out of the box and they tried mating again. They went back in though. I’ll pick a best answer as soon as it lets me

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.

What kind of bird food attracts the largest variety of bird species?
I live in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. Recently, my grandfather and I built two plastic-bottle birdfeeders. We don’t usually see a lot of blue jays, but they *do* live in the area. I want to attract as many different species as possible. Will standard mixed bird feed work, or is there anything special to attract specific birds in the area? A few examples of some of the birds that I want to attract are blue jays, robins, chipping sparrows, other sparrows, finches, doves, and common grackles (locally known as “blue-headed blackbirds”). It doesn’t have to be just those species, though.
Anyway, an answer would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Feeding My Birds Eggs?
I want to feed my birds the eggs they lay, shell and all (my main egg layers are the quails and zebra finches.. and occasionally I get some from my cockatiels and dove).
Assuming this is okay, how do you reccomend preparing the eggs (hard boiled, scrambled, etc?)
Or is it better just to feed chicken eggs or no eggs at all?
Sorry if people from the bird section are getting sick of all my questions one after an another.. but I have a lot of real questions to ask…
