good news but bad timing with my linnies

Not sure how many of you are familiar with the lineolated parrot but o decided to give the a go this year against the advice of my parrot keeping colleagues.
Too hard or dont breed well were the common reasons.
I did hear that once you get the set up right and a compatible pair they can breed like budgies.
I offered the pair a box similar to what the hen was raused in. Looks like a giant gouldian box. No interest.
I put on a neophema box similar to what the cock was raised and presto. ..I am on the way to sime young in a few weeks.
The bad thing is ill be away for six weeks and wont be around for the full clutch and sny young if they make it that far.
Im more concerned about the routine they get as I have a pretty strict feeding regime which I believe has got them this far with the eggs.
Wish me luck.
If there is anyone who knows about these little birds feel free to share your wisdom.
