I think I am in trouble…

I currently have this aviary and we currently have 2 princess parrots, 2 elegant parrots, 2 bourkes parrots, 2 king quails, 2 chestnut breasted mannikins, 2 star finches, and 6 zebras.
After our first batch of zebras from the 3 pairs, (13 chicks in total!) my dad has decided he wants no more chicks because the aviary gets a bit crazy with zebras flying all over the place. So since then we have been removing the eggs as much as we can.
Around 5 weeks ago, there was two chicks in the nest, and another had 6 eggs. I forgot to remove the eggs, and two weeks later, we now have one chicks that has fledged (the other died
) and 5 chicks in the nest! Then there was another pair that had 6 six eggs (the pair with the fledged chick, the dad has to care for the chicks while the mum sits on the eggs) and hadn't gotten enough time to remove them because we had to go to a rally!
Those eggs have probably hatched by now… havn't told dad yet, but Im sure he will hear them soon enough!
Anyone interested in some Zebbies?
