Will my budgie lay more eggs while still caring for young chicks?

Question

Budgie has 3 babies in the nestbox. I saw her mate with her partner continuously yesterday as well as today. Her babies are around 23 days. Is she going to lay eggs again? Out of 6 babies, 3 died maybe because she didn't feed them. Please help. Thanks. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

If the babies are leaving the nest, then breeding may be starting up again, however it may just be that your budgies enjoy mating with each other. Sometimes new eggs can be laid when babies are ready to leave the nest, however if you are not ready to raise more babies you can simply remove any newly laid eggs. Making sure all the babies and parents are on a balanced diet can also help keep everyone healthy.
