I've seen four that have hatched. 3 from one nest, and 1 from the other.

That's good news you have 5 little fledglings soon

Time for an update. All four babies appear to be doing great. 3 in one nest, 1 in the other. I removed the unhatched eggs and now the babies have more space without multiple birds sitting on eggs. I don't have a picture of the only child, but he's almost all brown (like his dad).

Thanks Babs and lovezebs

Their crops look kind of gross, imo, but I know a full one is a good thing. I just hope/assume they wont burst from being too full.

No worries.

They won't blow up, they just look like they will....

Hi Rob,

You don't clean the nest, as Fraza said above, untill they fledge. It should be fine for the time being.
