I was told they have raised a clutch before. I placed a nest in the cage, and before they put any material in it the female (Zoey) laid an egg. This was within 20 minutes of placing the nest. My male (Zeke) then filled the nest, covering the egg. Will they uncover it themselves? I'm worried it will not survive. Do I intervene?

The first time she got one we think it died because of her spraying something in the room. Then we baught 2 more because we thought that it was lonely. She keeps very good care of them. Keeps food in the cage and fresh water and talks to them even takes them out one at a time to train them. Then out of nowhere the yellow one died last night. She's very upset and we don't know what she's doing wrong!

She said that he would be scared of me for a little bit so I wasn't worried at first when he was scared of me but now it's been almost a week and if i even just go near his cage he'll run to the other side. The only time I ever go into his cage is when I change his food or water, so he should have no reason to be scared at me.   I opened the door to his cage once but he wouldn't fly out and i can't try to bring him out since just changing his water scares him.
