Breeding Alexandrine Parrot

Post by Capt777 »

I had bought a pair of Alexandrine parrot when they were just 8 weeks old from a local pet store in India about 6 years ago . They roam around in home whole day and at night they either go by themselves in cage or settle on perch stand . Three days ago for the first time I saw them mating , Twice .once in morning and once in afternoon . Same day I got breeding box custom made from a furniture shop near my home . Size is 12 inches square and 22 inches deep( these are internal ! measurements . Entrance hole is 4.5 inches in diameter . I have also attached a mesh ladder inside .
They don't have ready-made breeding box for big parrot in pet shops here in India. I have made nesting material out of hay and jute . hen enters breeding box stays there for quite long . Male feeds her . I have made a small watch hole in breeding box so I can see what she does in there . How will I come to know that she will lay eggs ,? Even pet store guy doesn't have any idea . How do I even come to know even if it's a breeding pair or not.

Sorry for English . I am improving slowly.
