Question
At what age do Gould. babies start cheeping in the nest so I know it's baby time w/o constantly looking in the nest?

Answer
Babies in general don't start making noise until the third or fourth day. The egg sack they have from when they hatch continues to give them nutrients for about a day or so and after that, the babies have to start alerting the parents they're hungry. Some don't make noise at all and just raise their heads.
