Has anyone ever………………?

When you get a new pet like a conure and you know that bottle feeding is bonding time with the baby but your parents are too lazy to take you what do you do or how would you react?
If you did this some1 would think u don’t care or bond with the bird and why is that so?
According to my breeders and my information I am bottle feeding it and you have a closer bond when bottle feeding.

about hand feeding a wean?

it is said that sfter 10 days of hatching from the egg you can handfed the chicks… so if you do so will you have to return the chicks in their nest after you feed them of you can separate it from their parents?
and what are some suggestions that you should place in the cage so that the female bird can make its nest? can you put in some of the wood shaving that is for the hamster?

taming my birds?

I would like to tame my baby birds but I am afraid that if I touch them when they are babies that the parents won’t want to take care of them anymore and I don’t know how to take care of them if the parents do stop, if I wait until they are old enough to feed themselves will it be to late? Like do you have to work at taming them before they get to a certain age? And is there anything I can do to get them used to me when they are babies without having to actualy touch them?

HELP!!! wild animal (bird) attacked, hurt, parents gone?

PLEASE READ
A little past 10 pm, my family heard a noise coming from the outside. For about three weeks the mother and father has been there, but recently two infant birds were born. (about one week old). After realizing that the mother bird was no longer keeping the birds warm, we decided it was only safe to bring them inside. We made a nest out of rabbit hay, which we put into a shoe box. Then we gently placed the birds in. One of the birds has a cut and is breathing heavily, and one of them are fine. We put a heating pad on top of the shoebox, placed it in a 70 degrees room. We are wondering what else is possible to help keep these birds alive, we understand that raising them is illegal and we plan to bring them to a shelter when safe. Thank you for reading, and I will update the question to tell you how things are going.
they are morning doves
I have not fed anything yet… It’s almost midnight and I attempted contacting a shelter but they didn’t pick up

Cockatiels feeding babies that aren’t theirs?

I have 5 adult cockatiels. I started with 3 then 2 of them had 2 babies. Well those 2 babies are adults now and one of them mated with the other female I had before and they now have 3 babies, they’re about a week old. Now that they are rather big, the parents aren’t in the nest box as much, allowing the parents that had the 2 babies in the first place, to go in the box, and they feed the new babies every now and then. These birds must know that these aren’t their babies, why are they feeding babies that aren’t theirs?
