Yeah, I'm amazed how calm the mom is with you around her babies. I mean, she's definitely watchful but she doesn't seem to be aggressive toward you or anything.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Kathy. I think I probably speak for many that we are enjoying the experience of watching chicks grow as many of us won't have that with our own birds.

Kathy, do you need to provide any extra heating or is being inside and with mum enough for them? Great Videos.

The room is 65F / 18C so plenty warm. Also, now that their down feathers have come in, Rose leaves them for longer periods. This morning I sat in my chair and drank coffee in the bird room and opened her cage door since most of the other Eclectus were caged. She came out then flew to my shoulder and stayed for a few minutes, contentedly grinding her beak.
