How to take care of newborn parakeets?

My parakeets mated; the female laid some eggs and finally 2 of them hatched. The babies are about a month old already. So far the parents have been taken care of them with no problem. The nest is a mess and I don't know if I'm suppose to clean it. I don't wanna touch the babies or anything, since the parents are doing such a great job. I have no idea on how to take care of the newborn parakeets. Any help?

1. erm i would go to you local breeder and ask for tips or get a book :D
2. Babies at around a month old are due to leave the nest and should be fully feathered. They are no longer newborns. A little bit late for you to be asking now about care of the baby budgies in their nest. Research before embarking on breeding next time. Here is an article I wrote that will help you http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showtopic=13358
