I have a happy ending here.

I think I wrote a few weeks ago that I lost the female of the two adult finches that I had. Well, today, while I was in the greenhouse, I heard some "noises" and discovered that there are two very tiny little birds in one of the finche's nest. Apparently the male has taken them over and is now raising them as a single parent. They are so little yet that I'm not even sure they would have been hatched yet when she died. Also, the male parakeet who has a history of being friendly with finches, stands guard in front of the nest a lot. I don't know if he's watching over them or just "sharing the experience". And the female parakeet went into the nesting box for the first time (as far as I know, anyway) today. She may have just been checking it out but who knows!
