questions about foods for a parakeet?

is it ok to have the shell of the egg grounded alongside with the hard boiled egg and feed it to the birds? and when you will feed the birds with corn is it the cooked one or the uncooked? thnx!

What do I do with bird egg I found?

So I went outside today and I saw two little blue brown-speckled eggs cracked open on the grass. One was just a shell the other had yolk pouring out. Then I found one that seems in tact. I put some grass in a box and put the egg in. The I put that under a lamp. What do I do now? I did some research saying it could be dead already and that I have to keep turning the egg so the embryo doesn’t stick to the egg. I saw a nest it must have fallen out of but it’s too high up for me to reach and theres wasps in there so I’m not going near it.

Anyone know how to care for bird eggs? What do I do if it hatches?

Is Fall the most important time to feed the birds?

It is fun to watch them all. I feed them suet and mixed bird seeds with black sunflower seeds. AND dried Corn cobs and peanuts in the shell for the squirrells. What do you feed them? Is this the best time of year to feed them?

Budgie breeding question?

My female budgie was sitting on 4 fertile eggs but I think she came off them during the earthquakes at some stage (I live in Christchurch, New Zealand) because they all died in the shell. Anyway I took the eggs away so thaat she could lay a second clutch. She is still going in and out of the nest box and is still bonded with the cock bird but I noticed this morning that her cere has changed to a light smooth brown rather than the Really dark crusty colour it was 3 days ago when I took the eggs out? I am feeding her all kinds of greens and boiled egg and soaked oats and she has cuttle bone and a mineral block and good quality seed. Is she still going to breed??
