I'm so happy for this pair.  4 little sumo's to look after!  They are so cute and I love how Mama protects them.

Even now as big as the mini sumo's are getting, mom still stands over them in the nest box especially at night.  They are huddled together against her chest, such a great family  :-* :-*

These four have to be the most well-fed, most cared for chicks I've ever seen.  Such a devoted mom and dad!   :-*

Mom just standing by the chicks now as they are all sprawled out in front of her, quite a big pile now and 2 of them are quite inquisitive with their little heads up and looking around peridically  :-* :-*

This family has been an absolute delight to watch, dad is trying to get all 4 under him to brood and the look on his face as they are squirming around and he can barely cover them now is priceless... :-* :-*

They are really good parents, crops are always full and food is coming in steady!  We're going to have 4 little sumo's in no time  :P
