Just did a sneak peak into my pair of red rump parrots nest box and saw 3 x healthy looking babies. Not sure what their colours will be as dad is a yellow with red flecks and mum is a grey / dark cream type colouration.
This is their 2nd attempt at nesting since I have owned them - 1st attempt resulted in 4 eggs which were not successful.
Dad was extremely protective and flew repeatedly between me and the nest box. Mum flew straight into the nest box and remained there with her babies. I did not handle the young ones. I viewed them via an inspection camera that I picked up from Aldi some time ago for this purpose.
Does anyone know what colours I could expect from these babies??

Deb might know, I think has some parrots in a similar colour as you say the Dad is. Will see if I can direct her here.
