Things You'll Need
- Cardboard or wooden box (6-by-10-by-7 inches)
- Straw, grass or pine shavings
- Power drill
Instructions
Drill a hole in the cardboard or wooden box that is 3 inches in diameter. The box should be enclosed and have a lid so you can easily observe and monitor the offspring.
Fill the box with 2 inches of nesting material, such as pine shavings, straw or grass. Nesting material is available at your local pet store. Ensure that the nesting material does not contain any oils or scents as these can harm the parrots.
Place the breeding box inside the parrots' cage after they have mated. If you are unsure that the parrots have mated, observe the female for nesting behavior, which includes frequent rearranging of items in the cage.
