the bigger baby probably just hatched a day or two before the smaller one :)
when you see the babies feeding themselves, wait a couple of days then remove the box :)

Shanny, your time might be better spent reading some books or searching the internet for articles on keeping the type of birds you have at the moment rather worrying about every little thing the birds are doing. It seems like they are stressing you out, a stressed out bird keeper will have stressed out birds and you want to do the right thing by them dont you?
