I am sorry for your loss. Cats, opossum, & raccoons are all very adept at hooking & pulling a small bird thru the cage bars. You must protect your birds with a strong enclosure. Perhaps you can build a box using strong lumbar & wire cloth. Otherwise, bring your cages in at night to protect your precious birds. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

The best solution would be to contact a local wildlife rehabilitator. One in your area specializing in avians should be able to identify it. The bird looks to be healthy, so you've been doing a good job. The rehabber can confirm this then let you know when the bird can be released. Search online, contact a local veterinary clinic or check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife website to find a rehabilitator.

Make sure she has a balanced diet consisting of a pelleted diet, a fortified seed mix and small amount of fresh greens, fruits and vegetables. Provide a mineral block and/or cuttlebone. You can provide a birdbath or mist her with warm water a couple times a week to promote preening and healthy plumage.

I think you should get him tested for PBFD as this is one of the main symptoms of the disease, i doubt the baby wipes have caused that although i would not recommend using them on him. it could also be a case of external parasites such as mites, but in most cases it is actually due to boredom (behavioral plucking).

If you've found wild baby birds it would be best to try and find a local wildlife rehabilitation center in your area to turn them over to. The biting could be that they have an underlying illness or injury that needs to be treated, or they are hungry/not getting the right nutrition and so are becoming agitated. A wildlife rehab center can ensure they get the correct food, and can treat any injuries so that the birds can be released back into the wild once they are old enough.
