my grass parrots may have eggs soon as the female goes in the nest and see comes out for exercise and then goes back in or to go out and sits with the male

Good stuff. Give them space and privacy. Maybe start checking the box once every two or three days to get them used to it, but wait till she leaves. If she is in the box do not touch it.

thanks and i checked today nothing but i put some greens in there and they quickley flew down on the floor

parrots need greens ,greens and more greens to breed . If they are jumping straight onto the green stuff when you give it ti them then perhaps they need more and more often .

i checked the nest yestaday and i have got 2 eggs

Excellent Shanny Now try not to disturb them to much.

Now you know you have eggs I would leave it for at least a week before looking again, and then only when the birds are off the nest eating the greens.

As Deb said parrots LOVE their greens but I found that no matter how much I fed them they were always straight to it! Weather they were breeding or not. Good lawn mowers they are! lol

thanks guys
