Juvenile Gouldians

Here are some photos of my Gouldians, when they were juveniles. First photo, there are still in the nest obviously:
The next 2 photos are a day or two out of the nest):
Here they are a several weeks later. You can tell the male on the left, as it has a little more color. They looked like this for a few months.
Now they look like this (mine took over 6 months to look like adults):
The tin foil is part of a little heat shelter I made for them. I have a ceramic reptile heat lamp overhead and the foil helps keep that corner warm. I have my Gouldians in my sunroom that can get down to the high 50s / low 60s on cold nights. But the Gouldian cage is next to the heater and they also have this ceramic heat lamp so they stay warmer than the rest of the room.
