Detailed explanation-1: -For the first few days after hatching, crop milk is the only food that the mother bird provides to the baby birds. Both parents feed crop milk for a couple of weeks. As the babies get older, it gets seeds with the milk. When they are gradually getting older, they get more seed rather than less milk.
Detailed explanation-2: -Birds cannot break down food at birth, so their parents must first partially digest the food to make it safe for chicks. Since baby birds are dependent on their parents not only for food but also for instructions on how to be a bird, it is essential that it stays with them.
Detailed explanation-3: -If one chick develops an infection or illness, or is deformed in some way, a mother bird may either kill it and eat the remains for nourishment, or push it from the nest to keep the other babies from sickness. First-time bird parents will sometimes kill their babies because they simply don’t know what to do.
