Both Gouldian-parents help incubate the eggs during the day, but only the female sits on the egg during the night. Are you sure the female has already finished laying her eggs? Egg binding is an especially serious problem affecting female Gouldian finches during the time that they are attempting to lay eggs. Often, first time finch parents won't sit on their egg right away. Many species of finch won't even start incubating their eggs until the entire clutch is laid.

If you are sure that the eggs have been abandoned , the eggs may not be viable. Sometimes if you hoover near the nest, your Finches loose interest.

If the eggs are not viable, the Finches will not lay on them day or night.

It's actually not that easy to breed a Gouldian finch outside its native climate of Australia. You need to create the right conditions. I found an interesting post about growing gouldian finches: www.beautyofbirds.com/gouldianfinchbreeding.html

It looks like your female is not interested in sitting on the eggs. I would no longer trust this couple to hatch their own eggs, but placed the eggs under a society of finches.
