Cage #1 (F/F/M Trio) - There's at least one hatchling now! :-) I couldn't get a better peek without upsetting the parents, but I could see one pink wiggly for sure.
Cage #2 (Community) - Four newly-laid eggs! :-)
Cage #3 (F/F/M Trio) - The three chocolate pied youngsters have all fledged, and will soon be learning to eat on their own. :-)
Cage #5 (Community) - The single hatchling with the pink band fledged yesterday. I feel like it's a few days early, but apparently it had other ideas. I gently scooped it up and put it back in the nest, but except for the last scoop-up at bedtime, it wouldn't stay put. It learned to perch quickly, and the little stinker found the other nest box with the two chicks inside. It managed to leap from the perch to their nest box, and happily joined that little family! ROFL! Luckily it's not much larger than the other chicks, so I don't anticipate a problem. The other chicks are doing great. All the adults in that cage are feeding all the chicks. I guess it really does take a village to raise a child sometimes! ;-)
