Srtiels's website still has a password and will only be accessible if you pay $10. She has the passwords. We humans have to feel them every 2 hours because we feed them a good amount of food. The parents feed the chicks a little at a time resulting in more frequent feedings.

This is their second clutch right? A second clutch is nearly impossible to stop. I have separated my birds for months and when I put them back together, they went right back to making their second clutch. A 3rd clutch will most likely not happen as long as you remove the box as soon as the last baby leaves from it.

Not quite. This is their THIRD clutch in a row. The second was all infertile but I was too scared to candle the eggs so I didn't know about having no chicks to hatch, and missed a moment when I needed to take the box down. Then I saw another egg, and took some actions, but they brought rather negative result - we ended up with even more eggs.

We are in a duplex, today in the morning I saw a worker placing Caution ribbon around my neighbor's property. I asked what was going on, and he said that he is here to replace the windows, and because the house was built before 1978, he has to have Caution sign due to possible lead danger. I asked more questions, and he said the chance that paint in the house has lead is 75%  I asked about window frame that our birds are chewing sometimes and he said "yes, this too". the windows don't seem to be "painted" but they are certainly treated with something. You saw them on the picture. Of course, I will definitely put something around the wood. What else can I do? Anybody ever dealt with lead danger for birds? I believe there is no immediate danger to people but I will have to check on this.

baby 1, 11 days old, 57g/30g (weight today compared to a weight 4 days ago) baby 2, 10 days old, 46g/23g baby 3, 9 days old, 42g/22g baby 4, 8 days old, 31g/14g baby 5, 7 days old, 26g/12g
Everybody opened their eyes except the youngest, but he is working towards it. it upset me that last night mom wasn't in the box with them. She was in the box when I covered them for the night, but not in the morning. I think the youngest one is too young to be without mom.
