Parrots

Hi looking for some advice I have 2 pacific parolets and they been mating? I have attached the nesting box on outside of cage as advised. But they have snapped the purch off and won’t go in it?

Hi,

You should be able to replace the perch. It is usually just a dowel pushed through a hole. As for going inside, it can take a while for a pair to explore a box. when it comes to breeding birds, you need a lot of patience because you end up doing a lot of waiting!

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
