Budgie Nest Box?

This one from round 2 is so much like the eldest chick from the first round, Beanzie. Doesn't look the same but definitely acts the same LOL ...

Ensuring The Health Of Budgie Chicks

Budgies are usually very good parents from the start, so there might have been two primary reasons why you lost the babies. One might be the nest environment. Did your nest have a concave nest block included? The block is concave in order to help keep the eggs together to allow the mother to incubate them more easily and more safely. At the same time, once chicks hatch out, the babies can be more easily kept together under the mother within the shallow of the concave.

Nest-box material can also play a major role. Offer clean, fresh, white pine shavings only, which help absorb the droppings from the chicks and keep the nest clean. Pine chips are too sharp and rough for budgie chicks, so make sure to provide shavings. Cedar chips contain a residue that can be toxic to young chicks that ingest them, and sawdust can get into the air sacs and cause respiratory distress. Add only enough pine shavings to help keep the nest clean without risking the budgies becoming buried and lost in the litter should they accidentally wonder off.

    I would be more optimistic if your hen was 1 or 2 years old, not a few years old and breeding for the first time. Is the pair's nest box hanging outside of their cage? That's preferable to putting it into a cage and crowding the birds.
