Yesterday I woke up and I saw that my zebra finch had laid an egg. Today I woke up and saw that it had laid another egg. I saw them breeding a few days earlier, but I know nothing about what I need to do. Could you tell me what the diet is and if I should keep providing nesting material and just all the basics on how I need to care for them?
Thanks.

I would let nature take its course. Do not bother the birds now. You seem to be doing things right.
You can find some beneficial information on raising zebra finches at www.zbirds.com/
From reading about these birds so much on TF, I thought about getting some so a friend who does gave me a bunch of YouTube sites. This is one of them, but if you just put raising zebra finches into YouTube search you will find lots. Some are better than others:
Hopefully this will help. Most of those I watched recommended letting mother nature take its course, which is so hard for me as I want to mother all things that are vulnerable.
For the time being, I am not going to go down the bird road (don't think our dog would like the noise--he is quite sensitive to that).
Post back how things go! I enjoy learning about other folks' experiences with these sweet feathered family members!
