Why are you planning on breeding parrots when you obviously don't have any experience on it? (If you did you would not be asking this question)

You Senegal will be just fine. But breeding parrots is not as easy as you may think that it is and it requires specializes equipment as well as specialized knowledge. Baby parrots are totally helpless when they hatch and they must be taught to even eat or drink because they do not know how when they are hatched and it is so easy to make a mistake such as their food being the wrong temperature or you don't use the right way to feed them and all you get is dead birds for your efforts.

I have been breeding parrots and parakeets for 4 year and I have never had a bird with this problem that's why I am asking for any body's input and I do not intend to hand rear them so I do not need to mess about wit heating there food are having brooders are any thing like that

[Wolf]

Ok, I didn't know how much you did or did not know about it which is why I expressed my concerns over it. Thank you for your answer.

Why would you breed when there are so many orphans?

Because they don't care. What other answer could there possibly be?

I don't know why, but it is possible that he is just breeding for himself and/ or for a few friends. Don't you do something similar?

No, I don't believe in breeding parrots to be used as human pets regardless of the circumstances or to whom they go. What I do breed, on very special occasions (maybe once every three years or so), is canaries which are a domesticated species not in overpopulation and easily kept content in captivity (if you know what you are doing, of course).
