A little note to say that it has been so very fascinating to be able to watch the whole process of these babies from the time the eggs were laid until now. Several have asked about the 3rd egg. The third egg I have taken out of the cage. A pet store had suggested that after 3 weeks if nothing had happened yet that nothing likely would come of the egg anyways and this egg was 4 weeks old. This way now the mommy can concentrate on the 2 birds that are alive.
This morning the other little baby managed to get itself onto its feet to stand and take a few steps! A little slower then the other baby but each one is different! They are beginning to look very much like the adults in some of their actions already such as the wings stretching and flapping, the little beaks checking their feathers. At this point what feathers? Smile! They are still resting a lot.
There will be more pictures to come. Especially now that the feathers will be filling in more. I am curious to see how much yellow, turquoise or blues each baby bird will have!

Thanks for the explanation. I bet there will be more calls to the stores as you begin to raise those little guys. Oh my...what a racket there will be...ha! You will need a bigger cage at some point too I am guessing. I guess that is a ways away though...they must be comfortable being close to mummy like that.
