I have an outdoor aviary and saw my male parakeet feeding 4 day old baby finches in the nest Should I worry about the parakeet's behavior Finches aren't abandoned by parents?
Unless the parent finches are getting mad, you don't need to worry about it. It's common if you have a bird in the parrot family, such as a parakeet, it will feed the smaller birds. They will commonly imitate you in how they treat small birds. For example if you say "here buddy" when you feed your bird, it is possible it will feed smaller birds while imitating you saying "here buddy".Additionally parakeet food is bigger seeds, but still similar enough in nutritional value that finches can eat parakeet food and vice versa.It's the same thing as if you have a cockatiel and add a parakeet. The cockatiel will likely treat the parakeet like a pet or else a baby cockatiel.
