Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch

I am so proud of Goldie, she finally laid her first eggs last October 10th! 

She had been busy preparing her nest a couple weeks earlier. She tidied her nest and threw bigger wood shavings out.

I could feel her bulging tummy, when I checked her.

Then one day, I knew she had laid her egg because she spent a lot of time inside her nest and... Baby Blue was inside too! 

I guess he was there to give support to laying Goldie, as Baby Blue is an amiable budgie. I love him so much.

 Then, two days after, she laid another egg, and so on ... in total she laid 4 eggs.

She started to sit on her eggs after she laid her first egg and only came out to dump and stretch her self out. She also drank a lot but ate a little since she spent only a little time outside her nest. Baby Blue had done his tasks as the male budgie very well, he always standby to feed and preen Goldie every time she popped her head out of the window hole. Often he accompanied her female inside the nest... don't know what he was exactly doing inside since I couldn't open the nest's door without disrupting them and their activities. I guess he did it as a form of protection.

Normally it takes 18-21 days for the first egg to hatch. But after about 1 month, I decided to removed the eggs out because none of the eggs hatched. I accidentally dropped one of the eggs and it's obvious to me that the egg was not fertilized. 
It took Goldie a couple days to finally realized it.
Though I was disappointed but I have guessed that, I think.

Oh well, I wish they would really mate and produce some squealers someday... <sighing>
