Budgie help?...?

Question

I have four budgies, the dad, mum, the son, and the daughter.
The kids are four months, and they all live together in a huge HQ flight cage.
The father has recently been trying to mate with the daughter. And this made the mum mad,and she attacked the daughter. She does this numerous times, and pulls on her feathers.
I put her in a separate cage, along with her brother for company.
But should i leave her in the separate cage? It really isn't that big its one of those travel cages...and i feel bad for them to be put in it, and to not have that much room compared to that flight cage they had...
The kids are semi weaned.....even though they are four months, they know how to eat seed, but they do not like it.....
And my mother wont let me buy another cage because she already spent to much money on the flight cage and the baby birds needs.....please help me.

These are things you should have thought about before breeding budgies. What to do with the offspring. You should re-home the babies and think about what you are going to do with the next batch of babies. Try contacting a pet store and see if they will buy them. Place flyers around the town, maybe you can find homes for them. Your mature pair will keep breeding for a few years so think about what you are going to do. The parents will push away the babies and the babies will get attached and like you mentioned breed, don't let that happen, it will cause a problem with the gene pool. One parakeet is always perfect for a person to train and work with, any more the bird gets distracted and is hard to work with. Good Luck!
