New Life again in our home- this time feathers

The day after Levi died our female parakeet laid an egg in their cage... It was broken but we knew we had to buy a nesting box. We put it in the cage and she began laying more eggs... Tonight we cleaned the box and we have been hearing the babies sing... Some are 2 weeks old and others are just 2 days old and their is one egg left to hatch.... We have 8 baby birds and 1 egg and the parents....Our little ones got out of bed to see them and here is a pic of the baby birds inside the box.... We will keep you posted..... It is so good to have "babies" chirping and being born again in our home....The kids are so excited and don't want us to give any away.... We have always had birds but none have ever laid eggs for us... So this has been a new experience for us and we all are enjoying it. We talked with a "bird" specialist and she said they will continue to have babies.... Oh no what are we in for?
