3 baby peach-face lovebirds! now what?

My pair of Peach-face Lovebirds hatched three juveniles (as far as I have been able to see). I have no idea when they were born since I don't disturb their nest-box.

What should I do next? or should I just keep providing the same care as before? I am lost here.

They are odd-looking kind of gray colored.

Congrats on your new babies! Just keep doing what you have been doing. The parents should feed the babies, actually, the male feeds the female and the female feeds the babies. My sister has peach faced lovebirds. They have babies all the time and she doesn't do anything special. One pair is sitting on eggs right now even though it is supposed to be winter. The gray coloring is their down feathers. They will stay that way until they get their pin feathers (the first little feathers sticking out like a pincushion).

Yeah - my finches are always having babies too. I wish I had room for 3 aviaries - one for my breeders, one for my extra females, one for my extra males. That way I would be able to keep more of them. Of course, the aviaries would have to be HUGE!

Update and correction: Looks like I got carried away by emotions of the moment. It seems that I counted one of the parents as a baby... Ups... so we have TWO gorgeous little birds there!

Here's a pic of them. The two babies are at the bottom of the pic. Mom is upstairs at the house-net entrance, Dad is climbing the wooden ladder.

Next pic was taken today. It looks like I will need to upgrade their cage since family is likely to grow in numbers soon.
