A few pictures of the little ones taking a peek at me....
There is a fledgling out and a couple in the doorway, guess they are trying to decide when to venture out.

Thank you.....he does look serious, a little toughy. He has been out since Saturday, bouncing around, hanging out in a spare nest, following the parents around.
The one thing I noticed about this clutch is they are not as vocal, not begging constantly like the first clutch was. You could hear the first clutch way before they fledged and before and after feeding, these seem more content, bigger. So perhaps some of the issues with the first clutch had to do with first time parents not feeding enough. Not sure but I am happy to have this clutch...at times I think I see 4 but I won't know until the all come out. I will feel better once they all wean and are doing well.
I kept the parents on probiotics the entire time as well as treating in the early stages after hatching with Ronivet S. Hopefully this has helped with this clutch.

He's a cutie!!
Got to get a pair soon!
I like those nest boxes.
Where do you get those?
Anybody sell them in Canada?
None of the shops have them here in Calgary.
