The babies are almost out from what I can see. They should be out in a week. if the nest is really dirty than yes you should clean it out but if it's fairly clean you can just wait to they are out and then clean it or put a new box. You can add more shavings. It's great that yours accepts it because mines actually don't. Don't worry they won't abandon the nest Because of no shavings, for my parakeets have never abandoned it and they have nothing because evertything I put they take out. I've never changed the box to my parakeets so I don't know she'll react. I think the best thing would be to just wait for the chicks to leave the nest because we don't want the mom or dad to leave the nest when the chicks are so big because they didn't recognize it. Every chick has a unique personality and are full of curiosity which might explain why they came out a little earlier. I hope I was of help again.
