the young ones doing great , they know how to go in and out the aviary / sleeping / food area .... they also found out how good it is to take a bath outside in the waterfall .. and the parents don't feed them anymore .... reason .... :-) :-) ... 2 outa 5 eggs hatched this morning and hoping the others will follow today or tomorrow ...

Again, awesome news. Congratulations, are the parents showing any agression to the independent fledglings since going back to roost?
Can you sex the young this early?
