I can confirm there are at least 5 eggs in the budgie nest box. The hen has been sitting in the nest all day except occasionally coming out for a quick poop and snack. The cock has been feeding her all day. I was almost going to praise the male budgie for being a good daddy, but he blew it by trying to mate with the female every time she leave the nest. A few times she tried to take a bite at the fresh veggie I put in there, but his eager always forced her to retreat back into the nest immediately. For the fear of not eating enough for the female, I have dumped a teaspoon of millet inside the nest for her. He was eating faster than her while he had all the food in the cups.
