Fallen Chicks--Help!
This is the second time canary chicks have fallen out of their nest. They are only a couple days old. Nest is deep enough. Might one of the parents be tossing them out of the nest? Sadly they were dead each time I found them. Very frustrating. Next time I will place the nest closer to the floor, with soft bedding. I just don't understand why this is happening. I should note that I did try to reinvigorate a chick. It felt cold, so I warmed it with my breath. It did start to move around a lot. I returned it to its nest. Not sure if it will survive or remain in the nest. Been an off year.

Re: Fallen Chicks--Help!
The parents probably have been tossing the babies. Watch which parent have been doing the tossing and separate it from its mate.
Have a nice day!
