Question
hello chrys
thanks for replying to my previous question
now the new kid is a bit older
and there are eggs in the nest old ones like 4 months ago and new ones like 2 months old and the nest smells really bad should i clean it up
and leave the baby with a clean place to live?
he already has lots of feathers now

Answer
Hi, Michael.  Thanks for posting again.

Definitely yes, remove any eggs that aren't going to hatch.  I don't recall how old the baby is, but yes, you likely need to clean up the nest if the baby is still young enough to be in the nest.  Are you handfeeding this baby or are the parents still feeding it?
