Just keep your fingers crossed. If you have conditioned the bird with a proper diet prior to mating chances are better. Providing a bigger cage allowing the birds to fly (excercise) is also important.

I took over this pair from my friend around 2 months ago cos he giving up all his birds and you are right! Feeling is like daddy-to-be! So excited! Can't wait to see chicks, hahaha... Diet and cage you don't have to worry, hahaha... They are all on pellet diet with fresh fruits daily, 1st feeding at 7.30am, 2nd feeding at around 1pm, 3rd feeding at 7.30pm and 4th feeding at 12.30am! They have breakfast, lunch, dinner and even supper. lol! The pair have a huge cage, 18 inch by 18 inch by around 2.5 feet tall. So sure get enough excercise. You can always pop by any weekends to see them if you want...
