Finch not feeding babies

i have 1 pair of finches and yep they have alot of space in there cage they oftenly give eggs and almost every time have 1-3 babies but the twist is that they dont feed them and unfortunatly die out of starvation asthe parents dont feed

Hi,

You should remove the nest and do not let the pair breed again. Some pairs are not good parents and you should not let a pair like this breed when they let the chicks die every time. After several tries, they are not going to change.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
