Monster Aliens In My Nest

Hi All,
I manage to snap some very poor pictures of some Monster Aliens in one of my Gouldian's nests. Yikes!
My silly Gouldis decided to nest in a wicker basket (as you can see), so I can't get a really good view of these chicklets. Initially there were four or five (I think), can't see how many there are now due to the angle. I thought they were all normal monsters, but it looks like there are one or two yellow aliens in there (which is a surprise).

Mom seems to be doing this on her own mostly, and Dad sits around looking pretty
This has to be Dad (who must have done the deed on the downlow, cheating on Spirit, and not admitting to it, lol).

They look great
It must be a good female you have there, to take care of 4 or 5 babies on her own.

Thank you,
Getting some Yellows is a nice surprise indeed.
I honestly thought that the Dad was a normal Green, but obviously I was wrong.
It will be nice to see them once they fledge.
I won't be able to colour band them until then because of the nest being what it is.

No, Lady Blue and Scout murdered their baby, and abandoned their nest.
This is another pair, in another nest. Dad Sebel is up above in the picture (he used to hang around with Spirit , but I guess decided to take a quick roll with this other female by the looks of a couple of these babies). Mom has no time for pictures, she's busy feeding the alien monsters.

I got Scout mixed up with Spirit. LOL
And I forgot dear Spirit is a female. And both names share one special significance. ;)
