Hi,
These are very positive signs that they may lay eggs soon, but it’s not something you can put a time frame on. Some birds do this and never lay eggs. All you can do is be patient and hope they settle down and lay eggs. The parents should be eating a nutritionally balanced diet such as pellets – a seed diet does not provide adequate nutrition. They should also be eating leafy greens, chopped veggies and some fruit. For breeding they should get a daily egg food – this can be a commercial dry egg food, or you can cook an egg with the shell washed, crushed and cooked with the egg.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
