I've got two other hatchlings in that same cage (different nest). They hatched on approximately 11/27/12. I'll get them banded when they're a little larger, to help make sure the bands don't slip off their tiny legs.
Cage #1 has 3 viable eggs, 1 egg that I'm not sure about, and 1 dud egg. The viable eggs should have another 7-9 days before hatching. This is the trio whose last clutch was a flop (moth in their nest scared them out for too long and the eggs/hatchling got too cold), so hopefully things will go better this time.
The 4 babies in Cage #3 are doing great! At least two of them are definitely crested. I can't tell yet on the other two. The youngest one's noggin is still just as bald as it can be! LOL!
Note to self: Available band colors are red, purple, light blue, and gray.
