Post: kicking out eggs

Posted by Mark Wright on 3/04/06

I have 9 budgies in a flight cage. I have hung nestboxes
inside the cage. One hen laid 3 eggs and seemed not to be
attentive. She then kick the three eggs out of the box
and they broke. Another hen laid 4 eggs and was sitting
regularly on the eggs. The first hen laid an egg again so
I put it with the other clutch while the hen was out. The
next day all her eggs were kick out.
What do i do?
I very sucessfully breed lovebirds. I have only one pair
of lovebirds per breeding cage with a nestbox attached. I
have had 10-12 clutches over the few yrs.
The budgies are continuing to nest and mate...
