Did you have the vet test their DNA to find out the gender? How did their visit go?
I did not have them DNA tested, PCB, at this point. I reported on the first page about their visit, but I'll tell you again! He was very pleased with them, and told me that he thought Milly and I were doing something right! Everyone is progressing well and they change every single day!!!



Is this family going to need a bigger cage when the teenage hormones kick in?
Oh, Rachel, I hope not!!!! I will tell you that I have already had to separate Roger and Milly many times in the last week!!!! I hope they will all be off to their "forever" homes before they need to be separated!!!! Right now, the three babies are living with "mom" and dad visits them every day a couple of times. At night, he goes back to his house (next door) and the babies huddle together in the corner of the cage while Mom sleeps up high above them.

How old do the kids have to be before they *fly the coup* and go to their forever homes?
This probably differs from baby to baby, but from what I have read, I think 2-3 months is probably the correct timing. If that's the case, then probably in August, they will leave me. I will miss them.

Popcornbird, I am curious as to why you think Baby #2 and #3 look like girls? I simply can't tell yet, but their cheeks are very orange (much more so than Milly's), and there are no bars on their tail feathers (that's what Dr. Fernandez told me to watch), but their tail feathers are not completely in either. I think it may take a bit longer. I hate to do DNA testing, and probably won't. I think that everyone who wants a baby will probably not care what sex it is anyway, although I know from my experience, that my boy is much more "loving" and talkative than my girl, but that might be because of Milly's unknown history.
