Thanks, they keep trying to fledge and stay out of the nest but mummy bird keeps ushering them back in. Should i be taking the nest out seeing as they can all fly now as i dont want the parents to breed again this year? They need a break.

Realised today the little pied fawn one loves being handled in the cage, outside not so much. She likes the comfort of the cage, whereas the other two hate being handled in the cage, but love it outside.
Uncle Bertie and Auntie Betsy the Bengalese keep trying to look after them but keep getting a telling off by daddy pingu.

Was trying to get a picture of them all together on the back perch but one by one they came to look at the camera! I did eventually get a pic of them all together!
