Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed
I thought I had 2 male parakeets- after 4 years I put a "coconut hut" in the cage and one of the birds laid 5 eggs. 3 have hatched and the parents are caring for them, however the coconut hut is quickly becoming too small. Can I move the babies into a larger nest box - will the parents still care for them? If so, how and when should I move them?
