Little pink blobs, all in a pile

Here are the 6 chicks. Chicks 1, 2 and 3 and all growing in pin feathers now. Chicks 4 and 5 are getting bigger.

Chick 6 doesn't seem to be getting fed at all by the parents and is still tiny so I'm going to start to feed it as if I'd pulled it for hand rearing and hopefully that will get it growing. As an experiment I tried taking out the 2 eldest for a couple of hours to see if the parents fed chick 6 then but they still ignored it.

If you're on my waiting list, chick 6 is a spare so as long as the other 5 make it (and I think that they will), you're guaranteed a chick.

Here's 1 and 2. You can see how well the pin feathers are coming in on 1's wings and that 2's red eyes are opening.

You can also see how their beaks are starting to become the correct shape for a parrotlet.

It's my pleasure and I know that I'd like to be kept updated it I was waiting for a baby bird :)

I also have good news about chick 6, looks like the parents have started to feed it again and it's noticeably plumper!
