My sun conure is the male and the turquoise green cheek conure is the female. She layed 5 eggs and we've been paying very close attention making sure we provided her with privacy and nutritional needs. We opened the closed habitat to check and see if the eggs are okay and noticed one egg hatched. When we saw it the mom(turquoise) got startled and angry and ended up stepping on the baby parrot which I'm assuming is what caused the mom or the baby to die and the body was fully gone so I think she ate the baby.. The next two following days later I hear noises of another baby that hatched. (keep in mind the mom has not left the closed habitat and has been sitting on the eggs)... So, when we come home we open the cage to engage with the male parrot and for the first time since the female has hatched the eggs she came out and was engaging with us as well. When she was distracted we checked to see if the 2nd baby is okay and again the body is completely gone and I'm assuming she ate the second baby. There's 3 eggs left now and I'm unsure what to do to ensure those will be okay... Does the mother not want to take care of the 3 left if she came out today and killed the other two? Should we consider buying an incubator ??
We put her back in the cage after engaging with her and she went back to the eggs, so I'm unsure what precautions we should take, whether she will take care of the three left?
We have no experience in breeding the eggs, and we had no idea whether one bird was female or male which resulted in us now finding out that indeed the two were opposite sex and mated..
Are these two birds (sun conure) and (turquoise) able to even breed together??
Please no judgement here I really need some advice!!!
