New babies, new behaviors

I never get tired of watching my birds and noticing new behaviors. I have a pair of societies sharing a cage with a female canary. They are in together because the male society and canary were best friends before the female society came along. Four eggs were laid, two hatched, and those societies are keeping the crops so full it looks like they're going to burst.
I'm really surprised new behaviors I'm seeing. All the birds in the bird room are fascinated by what's going on in that cage. They are paying very close attention to everything the societies do, and the canary has turned into a guard dog. If I come up close to the cage to try to see the babies, she puts herself between me and the nest. Sometimes it seems like she's trying to stare me down. I would not be at all surprised if I saw that canary feeding those babies one day. It's all very, very cute; I could spend all day in there watching this bird show.
