My bird's egg has feathers, parents aren't sitting. What should I do?

Question

I think there is a baby inside the egg of my cocktail, cause I see lite feathers inside the egg. But my birds are not sitting on it though before I saw her egg, the male bird was singing. Can you tell what to do or expect. The first egg which is away from the other two is the one in the picture. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

Baby birds are not usually born with feathers so that would be unlikely that you would see feathers within the egg, however viable eggs tend to start off clearish and then become more opaque as they age. You can also hold them up to a candle or light source (carefully as they are fragile) to see if there is anything inside. If they are not sitting on the eggs at all, the eggs may not be viable, the parents may be too young or inexperienced. You can attempt to incubate the eggs yourself if they are viable, however if they are not, simply removing them and ensuring your birds have adequate diets and a calcium supplement can help encourage them to lay more eggs.
