Eggs in the nest

Lola has finally decided to cooperate and lay her eggs in the nest that Winston lovingly built. She is now sitting on four tiny eggs. The Finch Book says that she will need some live food at this time and some calcium. I have added a cuttlebone to the cage and am waiting for Petsmart's delivery of small mealworms. The eggs should hatch in about 12 to 14 days if all goes well. The book also warned that some finches do not make good parents and can abandon the eggs or chicks for no apparent reason. I am hoping that Lola is not as fickle about her babies as she was about the nest!
