I have four untame budgies in a large flight. They're four years old--one male and three females. One of the females, Rilke, lays eggs twice a year. This year, she laid them inside a hanging coconut. They've never hatched. Usually the male pushes them out. I know, I should have never left the coconut in there, but it's the budgies' favorite thing. I've always thought the swinging motion of the coconut would keep the eggs from being viable. Well I got back from a week-long trip last night (my husband was caring for the birds). This morning when I heard something. I checked and there was a baby in the coconut. I think it must be a day or so old. There are still two eggs. What do I need to do now? What do I feed? Does the baby need to be moved? Rilke seems to be a good mother. What can I do to help her?
Thanks in advance for your help.
