So I am 100% new at this whole breeding thing and I would definitely not consider myself a breeder, however, my birds are breeding. I have two Quaker Parrots who decided to start having eggs at the bottom of their cage. I gave them a nest because I couldn't clean the cage with eggs on the bottom of it. Long story short they did have 12 eggs total and between myself and the parents we ended up with 0, even though they were fertile. Mom sits on the eggs the whole time while dad feeds her and sits watch outside the nest. But as the babies started hatching they were eating them. Not while they were in the eggs but waited until the chicks hatched to eat them. Has this happened to anyone? Is their anything I can do to try and prevent it? Any ideas would be helpful! Thank you in advance!
