The bird appears to have fallen from a nest. I have it wrapped in toilet paper and have been feeding it sugar water (its drinking a lot). It has a lot of feathers, but is still missing some. Is there anything else I can do for it?

My cockatiel laid 3 eggs then left nest. Is this normal?
I was cleaning my birds cage when I noticed 3 eggs inside of the nest. I placed a paper towel under neath the eggs. The parent birds have not gone back inside of the box. Did I mess the laying or incubation process up by handling the eggs?

Why do birds like to hide inside of something, is this a nesting behavior?
I have seen a couple of birds (males mostly) who like to climb inside paper bags, boxes etc. When they do this usually they make noises as though they are whispering to themselves. This usually leads to aggression if they are disturbed. My conure is only two months old and has started this behavior. He also does this when he is covered up at night. Any idea why they do this?? Serious answers only please!

Can i put construction paper in my birds cages or nest box?
Can i put construction paper in my birds cages or nest box?
Why or Why not??
I wanted to put the construction paper in the nest box because the store bought nesting material is white-ish and its hard to tell if there are eggs in the box!
I have 2 cockatiels if that make any difference….because i know some birds can have things other can not!
Thanks in advance!~Rachel
