Not at all unusual, the babies are clearly bonding to you and their parent is now considered by them as a possible predator. They are being defensive and instinctively looking to you for protection.
Aw...! I hope they stay this way. They're not flying yet, but they climb up my front and nestle under my chin. I've got to take a picture of it.
The babies are flying now! They do a funny little helicopter flight, in which they kind of flutter and circle around a foot or so off the table. They also fly up off of me and land on my head! I can't help laughing when they do that! So far, no one has pooped in my hair, thank goodness!
Lovebirds grow very fast as you have seen first hand. I seriously doubt you would be willing to part with them anytime soon.
I've given them names, which means that I certainly can't part with them now!

Thanks for the advice! I sure don't need oodles of birds! The nine I have now is quite enough!
I've taken out the hollow coconuts that I had in the three cages for my adult birds, in hopes that will be a deterrent against further nest-making. So far, so good!
