My bird laid eggs the other day.when the eggs hatch what do I give the birds to feed the babies.do they just eat bird seeds like the parents?
Just checking.
I found some resources while waiting for that answer. Tons of good information there about the dos and don'ts of baby cockateil feeding. Here's a recipe for baby-bird formula, which you'll need to feed them until they develop enough to handle seeds:

Good luck. I hope they hatch okay.
Go to any pet stor and get stuff called (petamine) its a sutitue for those kinds of birds. I used to hand feed them myself. Make sure to add some peanut buuter. As they get older you can add some parakeet seed to the mixture and feed ithem with a syrange.
This might seem like a silly question, but were these eggs fertilized? That is, was there a father?
yes they were
