hi hope somebody can help me

 

i had a mother feeding babies die within 1 hour of checking her and her babies

i left the babies with the father but found them not to be very full

so i hand fed them and put them in with another pair that are good foster parents

the pair fed them and they looked to be getting better

but 4 days ago i found the weaker of the 2 dead in the nest

then 2 days later the second one was dead

and then this morning the other baby belonging to the pair i found dead

missylu said it might be canker

the babies had dried poo around the vents which i cleaned up

didnt see any signs of vomiting

can somebody please help

the father is still alive and the pair i fostered too are still okay too

Maybe you should take them to an vet

Pure guesswork at this stage but I would say something pretty sinister. You really need to know or it could go through your other birds and foster parents. 7-10 days for incubation of most diseases.

Could be a Number of things - From a bacterial infections to something that no one wants in their aviary ..

 

Best bet is to take any surviving birds to a Avian Vet and get a look over - If none are surviving grabs some Poo that is in the nest box or cage or flooring and get it tested!

 

Death of a Clutch and or parents is NOT A GOOD SIGN

I agree with the advice given and make sure you take them to an "avian" vet, good luck in sorting this all out.
