start knitting & take up yoga :heart_fill_with_lov this will pass eventually for you..wtaching the birds like that is like waiting on a kettle of water to boil!! seems like it goes on forever...
My best advice to you? leave your birdies alone lol they will feed off your negative energy ...they are smart little devils & they sense EVERY single thing...when you relax, they relax...just make sure they have plenty of nutritious food & leave them alone as much as possible, they will do the rest LOL!!..trust me on this, I been where your at & when you are actively watching every move they make, it tends to always mess things up...leaving them their privacy is the best thing..read a book, watch a movie..anything but hovering over your fids LOL, their cooking their eggs & thats all that matters, the parents getting off the eggs is perfectly fine..they get up & go dip their breasts in water sometimes for moisture for the eggs, all that stuff happens in the wild..I can so sympathize with you!! I been their & it can be rough..after a few clutches of eggs you wont be like those so much LOL!! :Bravo:

:lol1: Laurie's right, the best thing you can possibly do is leave them to it! They do get off their eggs a bit, especially if you have them indoors and the tempratures nice and warm anyway. I'm sure they'll do fine! Zebbys are pro breeders! jiggle

Two eggs is good! I mean, it's obviously not very many but think of the extra attention the chicks will get from their parents. I had a nest of 12 zebby chicks (and oddly one hecks finch, I think a stray egg got in there!) and the parents really struggled to look after them all. I had to give them fresh egg food more or less every hour because they were getting through it so quick.

My most recent pair to nest only laid two eggs too. Both chicks are great big podgy things and are really good and healthy looking.

I bet the next time your pair breed, they'll lay more eggs. If they're young birds, this might be the first time they've ever bred so as long as they raise these two chicks, they'll of done a good job! Try not to worry, once the chicks are grown and feeding themselves you'll wonder what you were getting in such a flap for! :narc:

Hi adam,
just been catching up on all the new posts and i would personally agree with the girls above. just let them get on with it. my zebs in the aviary are in a nice flock and this year seems to be a bonus one. have just doubled my bird count in a week from 20 to god know how many as they wont sit still and be counted. ( am hoping to catch george and repay her some birdies for lyra. lol) Think i average about 3-5 eggs in a nest
