Yes, one more egg hatched ( Ricky and Rachel's ) and we now have five babies! One huge worry has been taken off our shoulders this time because the parents seem to be more experienced and they've started feeding all the babies from day one itself.
Here are a few photographs of the babies on day 2 ( one though was born just today! )
Rachel with her three babies
She gently nudges one of them further inside ...
... and makes sure the other two are ok too!
Feed time ( which seems to be all the time! ) ... here you can see her regurgitating her food in readiness to feed one of the babies.
And the baby knows it's food time, and opens it's mouth!
Awww ... Rachel feeding her baby. If you look closely you can see how well fed these babies are ( the pouch in it's neck is already full of bird seed ).
A happy and contented baby and it's proud mama!
This is Chandler and Becks's little one - unfortunately the angle of the nest doesn't permit very good photographs, but you can see the baby in the left corner of the frame.
