So that is a good sized box.

I kinda wonder (with a chuckle) how the one on the bottom spread eagled over those eggs must feel, lol.

At that point, I think they had figured out the lazy approach of putting their kids on top of the eggs and letting them do the incubation. I looked in another time to see all the babies piled in the front and all the adults stacked on top of each other in the back. They must have no sense of personal space!

Would have loved to see a picture of that, lol.

Personal space is a meaningless concept to these guys. They can't get close enough to each other, and they love the closeness as no other birds I've ever come across.

And if they are not in a nest, they stack on top of each other on the perch :?
