But found 1 dead 1 day & the other the nexted up the far end of the aviary.They have a Australia Native Planted Aviary its 3x3x3. Mixed species of finches,canary,quail. They have seed,insect mix,cununga grit, grass seeds. Wat went wrong.

I've never kept them but from what I remember I'm pretty sure they require live food (eg meal-worms, termites or maggots) in order to raise their young.
