    She is a nervous bird , you need to put a shelter so as to "hide" her nest from your attention and so she can not see you there are various ways of doing this ,put in the cage where her nest is a few branches of a leafy fir which to her will"hide" her nest in her eyes.

    At present she is in to open an area and she does not like it.

    So it is always worth trying .

    Maybe it is frightened. The nest is clear Canary nest, incubate the cage should be fixed in one location, and moving on defense, not an artificial interference, as much as possible to keep quiet, and do not often go to observe the female birds. During the hatching period to stop cleaning cages health. To maintain a quiet environment conducive to female birds incubate. Scaring away the mother bird will abandon eggs.

    There's also a good chance the eggs weren't fertile (in other words, there was no baby bird inside the egg, there was just a yolk). In that case the mother bird knows this after a while and pushes the eggs out of the nest and won't sit on the nest. Why don't you give the mama bird a rest?
