Stay away from them if you wan't to keep them,you know they hatched so concentrate on feeding the parents,go pick some green seed heads and put in for the parents.

just don't panic, they'll feed it when it needs it. Parent finches don't incubate their young once fledged. Zebras will usually have black or pink beaks depending on the mutation when they fledge, and these will colour up later.
