As I explained in my post in the intro forum, I'm a total newbie to raising finches. My boyfriend and I picked up our darling duo from the petstore in a love-at-first-sight moment, and have regretted nothing since then.

But of course, nature had its way and now our little chestnut-and-white societies have three eggs!


We want their family to be successful, and are willing to do what we need to help them out, without getting too fussy. They don't exactly have a boxed-up nest, but they have a flat cushon that they sit and sleep together on in the warm corner, which is where the eggs have been laid.
When daddy (Skittish) saw that mama (Pudgy) was laying eggs, he became very helpful. When Pudgy was still laying, Skittish would sit on the eggs while Pudge sat on the warm rock at the bottom, fed herself, and generally "did her thing" between lays.
Now that Pudgy is done laying at 3 eggs (I haven't seen a 4th yet), and started sitting the night before yesterday, they seem perfectly comfortable in their roles. I'm assuing they've either done this before, or they saw others do it. As we picked them up from a pet store, heaven only knows what ordeals they went through before we met them...
For people starting out like us, do you guys have any suggestions for what we should start doing at this point? Any sort of foods that we should add, or just general advice? I've glanced through the current forum backlogs, but still want to keep y'all up to date with these little ones because we don't want to hurt their potential new family because of our inexperience.
