The babies were born in a normal bird cage, she layed the eggs
on the bottom of the cage. The mother was fine with the
babies until they opened there eyes and started to go walk
abouts. This was when we lost 2 of them over night. To make
sure we didn't lose the last one we decided to hand breed it.
My children and i are really enjoying it!! We still don't know
if we are doing the right things and are hoping that someone
may be able to tell us some more things that will help our
little baby!
