OMG! So cute they are!
How old is that pic? I guess it's very special for you.
I'm trying to find all of the babies' photos and organize them. That photo is 21 years old. I kept files which included weights as they developed, feedings, changes (such as when their eyes started opening, first feather shafts appeared, etc) and some photos but many photos are not in the files and I want to find them.
They all have orange red bellies before the first molt. After the molt females lose that and males maintain the coloration although females can still have some smattering of orange but not the solid color like the males. However you are correct that they are both males and @faislaq is correct regarding who they are. It's a photo of Scully and Mulder (left to right). I'll have to find photos of the girls when they were babies. There is a difference in head size and beak size as they start developing (male's head and beak larger) and the males generally have more orange on the forehead area.
