HI ALL I HAVE 3 BREEDING PAIRS OF QUAKERS.. I HAVE 1 PAIR OF BLUES THAT ARE ALMOST 2 YRS OLD ... THEY WONT FEED THEIR BABIES AND THEY CHEW ON THEIR LIMBS AND KILL THEM I STARTED PULLING THE BABIES AS SOON AS THEY HATCH OR HATCHING AND PUT THEM UNDER MY OTHER PAIRS THEY TAKE GREAT CARE OF THEM.. BUT THEY STARTED LAYING WHEN THE OTHERS DO NOT HAVE EGGS SO I TRIED TO PULL FROM DAY 1 AND THEY ALWAYS MAKE IT 3 TO 5 DAYS THEN THEY DIE ... I USE KAYTEE HAND FEEDING FORMULA - FOR ALL BABY BIRDS .. SHOULD I USEING THE KAYTEE MACAW FOR THEM OR AM I DOING IT RIGHT ????????

ARE THEY DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUNG AND I HAVE READ THAT THEY DON'T GET THERE PARENTAL INSTINCT UNTIL THEY ARE 2-3 YRS OLD ? I KNOW MY RINGNECKS DO THIS WHEN THEY ARE UNDER 3 YRS OLD ....... PLEASE ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT THANKS TIM /RAY
