Most pet shops would be more than glad to have some more budgies to sell! Certainly approach your local pet store, offer them as many of the birds as you are willing to sell, see what they say. I'm sure you'll have some birds off your hands immediantly!
But, right now, you HAVE to seperate the males from the females! They are interbreeding. That is NOT good, it can result in serious medical problems for the birds. Sadly, the only wise decision is to get rid of the current eggs, for the budgies' sakes.
Well, good luck with the birds... But you must, ASAP, seperate the males and females, whatever else, unless you want to put the budgies in serious risk. Remove all nesting boxes, too. You don't want your birds interbreeding. If you want to, after getting rid of however many birds, keep the males and females together, you'll have to do something about it. Good luck!

It's a little easier with birds than it is with mammals. Here's the deal: Birds reproduce by eggs. If you don't want any more birds, remove the eggs! End of the population explosion! You don't even need to separate the males and females - go ahead and let them mate. Just remove the eggs as they are laid, and you have no more unwanted birds. I raise chickens, ducks and geese (and also some smaller birds such as zebra finches, button quails, and diamond doves), and if I have as many birds as I want of a particular sort, I don't let the females (or, in some cases, the males) incubate the eggs. It's lots easier than spaying or neutering - just remove the eggs before someone starts sitting on them to make new babies.
As far as the birds you have now, local pet stores may be interested, and you can also put ads in the paper, on bulletin boards, etc., especially if the young birds are very tame to handling.
And from now on, if you don't want more baby birds, remove the eggs!!!

This could turn into something profitable for you. There are some pet stores (mostly locally owned) that will buy babies from private breeders. Especially if you handle them to tame them first.
They may even trade you the babies for bird supplies!

Yes, pet stores purchase birds.
Boil all eggs that are laid, remove the nest box and seperate the males and females ASAP! Don't let them interbreed any more. It will cause MAJOR problems!

I gave this site to anouther person as well who needed to find a home for her pet.
http://freecycle.org
Basicly it's a site where people post items they want or are ofering to give away. From food, items, and pets.
Depending on the rules of the site (the state and town) You can put up an ad to find people who would want to adopt a few birds. You can call and talk to them or even meet if they want, they will come pick up the birds from your home. I find it very usefull.

Most pet stores would be glad to buy them, and probably would like to know your secret! I too am way-to-successful breeding birds (usually unintentionally), others I know can't do anything for a clutch!
