That's unfortunate. Too bad you couldn't teach her to keep doing it. Maybe she was trying to communicate with them?

Yeah the back and forth movement on the perch did remind me a little bit of mating behavior but she only did that when the chicks were in there... could she have thought the chicks were potential mates??

Even mother birds or even father birds can mate with their chicks when the chicks mature. Kinda awkward and uncomfortable thinking about it.
