If the hen has been disturbed too many time when the babies are young, she may not go back into the box, and may abandon them. The female can be disturbed by humans looking at the babies too often, or by other budgies entering the nest box. Jealous females sometimes kill another bird's babies.

You can visually inspect the nesting area to see if there are any remaining babies.

DO NOT remove the nesting box at all for at least 4 weeks after the litter of babies has been born. It is very important to keep the nesting box as untouched as possible until at least 4 weeks! Though the babies are out and about they will still spend much time cuddling inside (though they won't always) You may not see them in it much during the day but it is very important for them at night and is very important to stay untouched for it is where the mother will go to feed them until they are weened at 6-8 weeks
