Baby Birds, did I screw up?

I have a pair of Zebra Finches that mated. The eggs hatched about 4 weeks ago. I opened the nest box to check on them, and all four flew out. I had to chase them down and catch them to put them back. Since my scent got all over them, did the mother decide to reject them? They are about 4 weeks old and have all their feathers, but their beaks are still black and they don’t really come out of the nest box. Did the mother abandon them because i touched them?
thanks…I was worried. The female and the male were both staying out of the box and they tried mating again. They went back in though. I’ll pick a best answer as soon as it lets me

Found baby birds around a nest that was blown down in a storm last night how do I help them?

They are still mostly featherless with some pin feathers. I think this was the mocking bird nest I have seen all summer, they have had a few clutches. I have them in a shoe box with my softest hand towel. Who do I call?
The nest is in three peices and the branch that it used to be on has broken. I think I’ll call an animal shelter and see who they refer my to.

When should I remove love bird eggs?

I have 2 love birds ( assuming they are both female since non of the eggs are fertile.) I put a nesting box in about 3-4 months ago because I kept seeing them doing it. There have been eggs in there since the day after I put it in, but I have been noticing that they have been eating the eggs, because there is white stuff on their beaks, and less eggs. I want to know when should I remove the nesting box and all the eggs?

Few hours ago, i asked a question about my budgies, it wasnt specific so here is how its really specific.?

Okay, so my yellow budgie laid eggs. So i moved her to a different cage with her nest box. First she was sitting at the end of the nest for a few hours, Then came out of the nest. Then she did the same thing, but she didn’t sit on them. It’s been a month since she laid eggs. So a month before, she sat on them for 24/7. ( moved her to different cage + place because bad enviroment. also moved other birds. ) Anyways why isnt she sitting on them?
