From our forum… Advice needed

By Editor

Hello. I’m new to your club, but at the moment, I have a new pair of Roller canary parents. The mother nested very well, sat well, the father is not attentive, and now that the babies hatched 4 days ago, all the mother does, is sit on the nest. I shooed her out, and she sat on the side and just stared at the babies reaching for food. I’ve now taken the 3 little ones in hand myself, and have watered down some Peak Health Formula, and am dissolving that in warm water and they are eating that. I’m not sure what to do next. Any suggestions? Please help if you can
