They must have eaten the first 3 cause there was no sign of any eggs in the nest.... Maybe the egg fairy came in the night and nicked them :wink:

How old are they?? for owl finches, usually wait til they're at least a year old...gives them time to mature and then you'll see great parenthood. :) :)
