Scarlet Chested parrot chicks have fledged!

It is just five weeks since the Scarlet Chested parrot babies hatched out, and today they all fledged the nest.  Ken was in the process of putting rings on their legs, and he got the first one out of the nest box to do, and before he knew what was happening, he was surrounded by little flying missiles as they all jumped out of the nest box one after the other!  Their last night in the nest box before they fledged:
 Dad calling them up to the hole to feed them.

 Mum had more success, the baby peeps out to be fed.
