They breed in hollow logs or boxs make in the style of hollow logs. e.g. deeper than they are are wide. Others are probably better qualified than me to advise on size of nest, but at a guestimate 30cm square by 60cm deep.

My parrots have hanging toys with balsa wood pieces that they chew also natural branches , pine cones which you can stuff with pine nuts as a treat any sort of natural native tree with nubs or seed casings will keep them occupied.
