Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Ted, I am from South Africa, we have been having the same problem here. One of my friends said that a Professor notified him to stop feeding the birds with egg, rather use a substitute for egg or not at all. I have tried this and my baby birds are not dying anymore. Apparently the chicken eggs contain salmonella, not enough to be harmful to us humans, but quite harmful for the birds. I hope this helps and let me know. Thanks.
