Ok, animal lovers. Now that we've gone from dogs to cats, I'd like to bring it to smaller animals, my cockatiels.

We have a male and female (mother and son, which puts off what they did alot to my kids!!!!) who gave birth to three babies. They're about 6 weeks old now and the vet says they are ready to wean. It doesn't matter except that the parents don't seem so inclined to feed them anymore and the baby birds squock (sp??)(well, that might be chickens, don't know the term for the terrible noise the babies making when they want to be fed). But that's not the worse of it. The parents seem to be pecking the feathers out of the babies, and especially the one which turned out to be an albino (white feathers). So we've separated the babies but I'm wondering if anyone has experience feeding baby birds.

I'll go cut up now some vegetables and put a little brown rice in their cage - other suggestions???

And they're calling loudly to each other - parents to babies - what to do???
