I have a girl and a boy finch. The boy is a zebra finch and the girl i think is a zebra finch but she's white with a black line under her eye.

 

I gave them a nest and about a week or more ago, they laid 5 eggs. (Not all at once >-<) Ok, they were very good parents and they would sit on eggs constantly and recntly one hatched. Now i think almost all of them hatched maybe except one or 2 but i put some cottony stuff in their cage and daddy bird kept bring it to his nest and i kept giving them nesting stuff because i thought it was cute how daddy bird brought it too the nest. Mommy bird was sitting in the nest at that time...... The nest had so much fluff/soft stuff and i didn't want the baby birds to suffocate of get smashed so i took a little bit out and i think now they are not going in the nest since yesterday night or somewhere around that time. They are chirping like mad. They are tweeting and tewwting and won't stop. I don't know what to do. Are they scared of the nest? They have food and water too. they are both out of the nest still!

Please Help!!!!

Thank you!

Hello!

I don’t have any experience with birds, but I suggest having a look at this forum and creating a topic on there:

I’m not sure exactly how this works with birds but I would make sure your finches can’t reproduce—I’d imagine things would get out of control with housing quite quickly!
