Answer 1

One reason for your bird killing it's young is stress ,you should never try and breed Quakers in a cage ,they need an Aviary.

Are you sure she has killed them and not deserted them there is a difference.They could have died through lack of a proper diet.

But it comes down to being disturbed remove the nest box till you want to breed again

Answer 2

We breed many, many quakers.  Some are just not good parents, plain and simple.  African Greys are known for this.  Try to let your female breed again, but when the  hatch date gets close, put the eggs in an incubator.  Chicks have a better chance of hatching and being healthy if the eggs are left with the parents for most of the incubation period. You will have to hand feed them when they hatch.  Your bird also may not be completely compatible with her mate. This can be a reason for killing the young.  Privacy can also be a reason.  If the birds do not get the privacy they require while brooding and taking care of the young, many will resort to killing the chicks.  Leave them alone.  Only check on them when you feed.  If your female is very young and this is her first clutch, it could also be the problem.  It is not uncommon behavior for a bird to do this with the first clutch,  You should not allow your birds to breed if they are too young. If this is the case, don't let her breed until next year.  This usually solves the problem when this is the case.  Please read my profile.

Answer 3

remove the box and stop bredding from the bird, if shes not living in a avairy then its not a good idea.

she was stressed
