I have a pair of white breasted Gouldians who have just had SIX babies leave the nest. When all the baby birds were still in the nest the parents kept throwing out one particular baby and I would find it featherless crawling on the ground (obviously the last hatched), so two or three times I picked it up and put it back in the nest. So now five babies have left the nest and today there is another alot weaker than the others and not as big but I was amazed that the little pink baby bird that I kept throwing back into the nest has survived.

Well done Pooky, I'm having the same issue myself at the moment. I hope I end up with the same result.

You could try suplimenting him with a crop needle.r if you think he will make it just leave him.

I think it will survive Gomer so I have left it. I have taken out three of the other babies who are feeding themselves and put them in the other avairy so I am hopeing the parent birds will pay more attention to the little one.
