I have been watching a wild green parakeet nested in a tree in front of my window for the last month now. Until yesterday I could see 3 chicks in the nest and mom and dad feeds the chicks multiple times a day. There were healthy and very close to fledge age.
Yesterday I couldn't see the chicks anymore. I thought I have missed their first flight but then it occurred to me that they are not all at the same age and it is unlikely they will fledge at the same day.
This morning I took a step and peek inside the nest. I was surprise to find 2 chicks who look very weak but still alive. I can definitely see and hear the parents flying around but they are not going into the nest anymore. I don't know what happened to the third chick and why the parents have abandoned the nest. Please advise!
