UPDATE:
OCTOBER 12, 2009
On October 2, 2009, Peaches and Herb became the proud parents of six cuddly balls of fluff.
 

Being a new mom, Peaches had a time deciding whether or not she should leave the nest to rescue her first two chicks who had wandered off to explore the aviary. I opted to make the decision for her, and took them home, fed them and kept them under lights for the first week of their lives. I placed Peaches, along with the remaining eggs, into a small cage, so that the new chicks would be safe from harm.
 

On October 3rd, four more chicks hatched. Peaches got the hang of being a mom and took great care of them.

On October 9th I decided to take the first two chicks to Peaches and see if she would take them back. Not a problem. They are all doing well.
