My suggestion is to unhook the tent, and place it on the cage floor, so that, if the babies fall out, at least they will not crash to the ground. Go to a petshop, and purchase a wooden nesting box for lovebirds. In a week or ten days, if the chicks survive, then put them and the mother in the wooden box. You will have a 100% better chance of the babies surviving if they are protected in the box. Their chances of survival are very slim in the hut, because they do not have enough room, neither does the mom, and the poop will build up in the tent, which will cause infection, and they all will die. The mother too is at risk for illness. Your goal now is to be sure mom is feeding them. And that they are warm, and do not fall out of the hut.
