Update! of the 5 Bourke hatchling the tiny one passed the other day. It seemed to be holding on it was being fed but I think the size of the other 4 smoothered it. The remaining 4 are getting so big and coloring up looks like all Rosey. My other pair normal male Kip and Rosey Pinky have got 2 eggs in their nest....
Will try to get photos posted tomorrow.

Often when the clutch is large and the begging begins the little ones can be overlooked and out begged by the older babies or trampled. So sorry you lost the youngest.

Since pair is giving you a good size clutch you may want to try a bigger box. Most times they are fine in the 8x8. You can the next size bigger to see if that give the youngest a better chance of being fed or enough space for the others to move about and not trample each other.
