When monitoring the incubation period of your budgie eggs, it's important to strike a balance between anticipation and caution. While you may be eager for the eggs to hatch, checking on them too frequently can actually harm their chances of survival. Ideally, aim to check on the eggs once or twice a day, being careful not to disturb them unnecessarily. As hatching approaches, you may want to increase your monitoring frequency slightly - but always remember that patience is key when it comes to successful breeding.
