More from the nestboxes....

The parakeet babies grow so fast, and they are kinda ugly, only a mother could love them. These two have a mother that is turquoise and a daddy that is light green. Too early to tell what color these babies will be.....
Man, this momma has her hands full!! Apparently, her eggs have hatched at different times. She takes motherhood to a whole new level, and she is nearly always in the nestbox with her babies. Four babies appear to be fairly close in age. Then you can see the two pink naked ones at the bottom of the picture, one has just the beginnings of feathers and the other has none so assume that those two are different ages as well. Once they get all these babies out, I will be taking the nestboxes out until next spring.....
