May I ask if the babies chest was plucked and also which parent was which species? It really is quite a nice cross.

Hi bubbles,
The breeder tells me that it was a complete unintentional accident, the parents were apparently a "Tassie Eastern Rosella" (I'm not sure what they look like) and a Kakariki which I am quite familiar with, the babies look a little scruffy now but he says they will colour up nicely in 9-10 months of age, may be how Easterns mature as Kakas look good as soon as they leave the nest.
I'll see if I can convice Danny to do a writeup on the forum.
cheers
Ed

Thank you for the explanation Dan, birdsale.com.au has certainly received a fair amount of hits in the last couple of days since I posted those photos.
I can tell you there are a lot of curious parrot lovers out there.
