babies are ok but mom is acting weird

[robin's my baby]

she is feeding the baby's fine but when she is not with them she is with victor (her hubby) and is begging for food its about the only thing she dose and she is out enough to get her own food with some help but she's being fed so much her face is encrusted with it and i worried about how much time she spends begging to him. i do not want to pull the baby's till brake (in a week in a halve) but what do you think i should do or I'm i just paranoid and this is normal

bumping this up for you Sarah

How many babies are there? Is she maybe having a hard time keeping them fed?

I have never breed birds, but I've spent a long time on message boards and heard from a lot of breeders in the 8 years I've had birds.

I think there are a few things to consider.

Are the babies FULL and being feed well?

Are the babies warm? Chicks that feel cold are in trouble.

Is the mother maintaining her weight? (Can she keep up with the feedings?)

Is the mother displaying any other signs of illness or neglect?


Honestly is sounds to me like a worn out Mama who is very hungry (after feeding chicks) and is begging for food from the father in order to keep the babies and herself feed. But as long as everyone is warm, feed and okay, then I don't see a problem.
