My zebra finches had hatched a baby on the floor of the aviary. I understand that it died either because it was squashed by the mother, sitting on an egg next to it, or of coldness. That was my second baby zebra finch to die, but with both, a few hours after they died, there was no sign of them. The other one that died was in a hanging nesting box. Why have they disappeared?

Sometimes baby finches are eaten by parents.
Like all animals in nature, they will consume the dead baby so that predators do not attack the nest or area where the rest of the babies live.
