Progress

My male Ringneck "Nippet" has started living up to his name recently. Normally easy to handle (at least for me) he has started coming up to me when I'm changing the water and putting food in the cage and biting me, he even drew blood last week. Not much fun but I think its a protection thing.

My female "Nelly" has laid three eggs, as of today she is starting to spend more time in the nesting box than out. I suspect this is the start of her incubation of the eggs.

The female Bourke Parrot continues to sit on her eggs. If she is going to hatch any eggs I would suspect that will happen within the next week.

All the other bird have shown no interest in using the nesting boxes.
