Here are the 4 Orange Wing Amazon now at two weeks old.  They were brought in the house on 6/20 to start hand feeding.  Eating about 10cc of formula each.  They seem to be doing very well at this time.

This was the first time I've had four babies at once from these parents, they normally lay three eggs and usually only two are fertile but this year she laid four and all four were fertile so that is pretty good, I think!

The four Orange Wings are doing great!  Now eating about 20 cc's of formula per feeding.

They are pin feathering on the wings and some on the body.

They love to beak each other especially when getting near feeding time.  They are probably larger than the Blue Heads now but are younger than the Blue Heads.

The Orange Wings are going very well!

Eating 30 cc's of formula now per feeding four times a day. They eat their food down much faster than the Pionus' do.

They are always grabbing each others beaks and wanting the other to feed on another of course all they do is pump on each other but they don't really  regurgitate  and feed the other.

It's a baby thing that most birds do to each other.

They are feathering in quite nicely and have some more fill in with feathers, there are still pin feathers here and there.

I really love the Orange Wings, they are a very pretty bird.
