They won't neglect the little one, once it gets real hungry and starts making lots of noise they'll feed it. If your talking about the nails on the babies don't clip them they haven't perched long enough to wear them down yet and they will need all the help they can get until they get experienced at perching.

If it still gets feed it doesn't matter who gets more , they will each get what they need and there's only 2 of them .

Time to go for a walk Shanny , the birds are gonna make you crazy :crazy: just let Mum and Dad do what instinctively they have to do and dont worry .

Hey Shanny, the more you interfere the more chance you have of something going wrong.If the they are both being fed i wouldnt worry.About all you can do make sure the parents have all the right foods to feed the young ones.They are usually really good parents.

Its not a toy,unless your experienced at hand rearing birds or have some one close by to help you then i would put the bird back and stop playing with them.the way your going you will shortly have one less baby red rump.
