   Well, first of all do you have another parakeet? Has she ever come in contact with a male budgie?

   If not, there is no way the eggs are fertile, so you dont need to worry.

   Sorry to hear she passed away.

   So sorry to hear about your poor bird. I can’t imagine the trauma that you must feel to have lost your feathered friend in that way.

   If you don’t have a “he” then the eggs weren’t fertilized.

   Do you have a pair of parakeets or was it only the one? Because if you don’t have a male parakeet, the eggs haven’t been fertilised and there aren’t any babies anyway.

   Keep the eggs warm, maybe under a desk light. Call the vet or look for a number on a parakeet website.

   ok if you don’t have a male they are not fertile and if you do he will take care of the babies until they hatch so you need to get another female and maybe she will take over the feeding process if not you need to be asking how to handfeed them because thats what you are going to have to do to keep the chicks alive. sorry bout your bird but good luck!

   Unless your parakeet has a mate (Male), You can’t raise those eggs, they are not fertile!

   The male will help hatch them if there is one.

   If you used a breeder (which I doubt but) try a heating pad on low.

   You can raise them by keeping them warm, and if they hatch, use a syringe to feed them. Feed them baby bird food, you get it from the bird store. I own 2 birds.

    Unless you had a male in with her, there are no babies in the eggs. ( They’re unfertalized, like chicken eggs from the grocery store)

    If you do have a male, and they are fertalized, you need an incubator. Desk lamps won’t cut it, they need specific heat and perfect humidity to hatch.
    You need to research that, and get yourself a mentor.
    Seek out a bird vet for advise.

    Good luck.
