Red Rump Parrot - Progress

The Red Rumped Parrot have actually hatched five live chicks. Two have since died (they were very small) but the other three seem to be progressing well.

One advantage of having them located on the back veranda is that I can monitor there behavior more closely as kitchen looks out on to their cage. I noticed very early on the female stop sleeping in the nesting box and I actually thought that she may have abandoned her young but not the case. Each breed seems to have its only little differences in rearing young.
