After a the crap weather i have had up here I'm starting to get some noise :D out of my aviaries, but my red face parrot's have 2 nest one ready to leave in less than a week, the other has 5 eggs there are sitting on. my question is do i wait and see what happens or remove the eggs to make sure i get the 3 or 4 about to leave the nest, i know the young are getting fed, like to hear you opinion's
Thanks Anthony

Fair chance if you remove the eggs she will just lay again. I'd leave well enough alone and just watch the young keep being fed.

Quite common for the parrot finch family to have chicks still in the nest and start their next clutch. Wouldn't worry too much.
