Gould babies not fed properly

I have many nice beautiful new babies but four of them in with foster parents are not fed properly. I wonder can I switch them to other free foster parents? I just gave them the breeding powder to make sure they would get something to eat.

The other ones are doing well...

thanks

How old are the babies? Is your other set of fosters prepared and ready for taking new babies?

So did the Gould parents refuse to feed? Is that why you placed them with fosters? If the fosters you placed them with won't feed, then you will have to try another pair of fosters. You have nothing to lose by trying, because if you can't get any other birds to feed, then you will have to handfeed.

the babies are a few days old...for today it did the trick to feed them myself because now they are ok...I will keep a watchful eye on them...

By the way they are all with foster parents...

thanks
