Will baby cockatiel starve or is he ok?

ok, so I have a momma and baby cockatiel. The baby is fully feathered, except for his head (looks like a vulture with yellow mohawk feathers on his head an orange cheeks!) anyhow, he walks around good and all, but the momma started laying infertile eggs (no mate) and I think she threw him out of the nest. I saw him eating a little bit, but I am scared he will die. I didn’t write down his hatch date, but I would say he is close to 2 months old, He was the only survivor of 5 and I would hate to see him die now. Do they eat less at that age? (he “gets out” of the box since yesterday but doesn’t know how to get back in, so I put him back)Since it seems he knows how to eat and I offer bread, seed and veggies, is that enough? Can he starve? Should I remove the infertile eggs to see if momma bird will tend to her baby again? What should I do?

I want to breed my budgies…?

I know that alot of people ask questions like the questions that I need help on but i need a little bit more of information…

1.My female parakeet has a white and light-blue cere, can it breed without the cere changing to brown or must it turn brown for it to breed?

2.I don’t know if the male bird that i think is the male is really a male…His cere at the bottom is dark purple and the top of the cere varies from light blue to dark blue…Is it a male?

3.What size cage dimensions would be appropriate for breeding budgies?

4.And what size nesting box?

Thanks for your time:)

What to feed young-ish zebra finches?

I took two little baby zebra finches (no adult colouring at all) out of my aviary and put them in an indoor cage. The nest had been abandoned and there was a dead baby bird in there too. The two birds I took out had just fledged and no other birds seemed to be paying them much attention. The nesting box was wrecked so I have since pulled it out. I have provided the two young birds with finch seed and water but I have noticed that there are no cracked seeds or husks. I presume this is because they aren’t eating. I’ve tried to feed them some warm porridge and milk through a dropper and this worked a little bit, but it was late and they seemed tired. Any advice on a homemade feeding recipe and feeding techniques would be appreciated. Thanx

Today I found a baby bird, help please.?

Today at work my friend told me he found a bird in the parking lot and he put it into one of the flower boxes hanging off of the restaurant. I went over to see it and i felt bad, he was really small and had no feathers and his eyes werent even open yet. So before i left today i got a paper cup and lined it with paper towel and took the bird out of the flower box and brought it home. When i examed it for a little bit i noticed it’s skin is see through, so i have a few questions:
First off, what should I do with it, i dont want it to die.
If i find a birds nest around my house, should I put the bird there.

PS. I looked around and there is no bird’s nest in site of my work

Baby parakeet wont eat!! I have handfed it. Now wont eat it!!?

I started to handfeed 2 parakeets when the parents flew away. They are about to have all of their feathers and 1 of them used to eat so well but now he refuses to eat. He will not eat seed we had started them on millit and he eats just a little bit of that. I am thinking of puting him in a parakeet nesting box with the other birds his age are with the parents feeding it. What should i do? put in the box? or what action and if u know i would like to know what has too?
