I raise bourkes both rosey and normal I have three pairs all unrelated Each pair have had young and all the adults are doing great they are between two and four years of age Here is my problem some where between 4 and 5 months of age i lose babies They stop eating and then die I only raise these birds as a hobby and do not allow anyone in my bird room I feed a good fed mix of ABBA keet and finch mixed together and i add some unhulled sunflower seed and hemp as well Fresh water given daily and i rotate each morning between the following Romaine lettuce, carrots, apples and mixed veggies Mild is given as well every three days I am getting myself sick over this as i never had this problem before with any of the birds i raised Can any one give me some advice as to what to try I have stopped breeding as i see no sense to letting the young die off
