So far they look like that ( 2 females and 2 males )
one of the fawns is very light so it may be a lightback instead ( cant know untill they molt )
and if so it will make them 3 males and 1 female

i will keep u updated :)

Do you use natural perching, as in branches from fruit trees etc in your avairys and cages?
It's just that I noticed in most of your pics that you have cord for perches and it is harder to keep clean and so could be a contributing factor to fungal infections, unless you replace it regularly.
