There are baby budgies in my Budgie's coconut hideout - What should I do

My Female budgie (Chipper) laid three eggs, in which two are hatched and been hatched for about 8-10 days now. I have gotten worried because they are getting big and can stand up on their two feet. I put in a nesting box inside the cage that is brand new and I haven't seen either of them go into yet. I want to know if it is possible to move them CAREFULLY into the nesting box that is x3 larger. It would benefit them and they get squished when the mother lays on them because how developed they have become. She herself can barely fit into the coconut even before the babies and I am scared she will suffocate the. If you know the answer to this please answer it !!

What she laid the babies in:
Bird Vertebrate Beak Plant Pet supply
What I bought for her:
Bird Product Rectangle Wood Feather

You can use aspen wood shavings, just make sure they are shavings and not sawdust.

Glad the transfer went well, please keep us posted on their development, they grow fast :D
They look so sweet in there with mom. They change so quickly wait another week, you won't believe the difference you will see.
I just sold my other cage and dont have the money bc im younger than 18 so idk what to do. she is doing it anymore
That was a vey poor decision after you were advised that a second cage would be needed. Are you intending to keep the chicks?
