Is there anything I should be feeding the parents for the babys to thrive on? They won't eat fresh fruit and won't eat vegetables. Thanks Bill

Egg or something else high calcium for mum, otherwise the best seed mix you can buy, the more variety the better. You might want to think about adding a multivitamin to their water if they don’t eat anything other than seed. Hang a sprig of millet in the nest box for mum, so she doesn’t have to come out every time to feed.
