Bourke Parrot

My female Bourke Parrot signaled her interest to breed by laying an egg on the ground and trying to sit on it. Interestingly enough the Scarlet Chested parrots and the quails also seemed at stages to be taking turns sitting on the egg in the corner of the cage.

I introduced nest boxes, she laid three eggs and sat on them for the whole month of August. She left the nest with the three eggs unhatched and I found them to be infertile when I removed them. Perhaps I need a new male.
