Today in the afternoon my male bird left the cage. They have 4 eggs and now the female is sitting on the eggs. The eggs are at their 8th day. Will they hatch? Will the female alone take care of the babies? Do I need to buy a male bird now? We are on the fourth floor. Is there any chance of male bird coming back?

Normally the two birds take turns sitting on the eggs. Once they start to sit on the eggs they will continue until they hatch. In some cases, a male will push the female away and he will be the only one who sits on the eggs. I don't think you have to much to worry about and if the female is still sitting on the eggs and has not left the nest then she will more than likely continue on and hatch the eggs herself.
There is always a chance, but we have to let nature and the birds do what is natural to them. Another male bird will not fix this.
