Cleaning out the nest box

I decided after some advice from a parrot forum to clean out the nesting box. I quickly removed the Indian Ringnecked chicks from the box, removed the compacted upper layer of saw dust (complete with droppings) and placed a fresh hand full of saw dust. Nippet aka dad sort of hung around the bottom of the cage keeping eye on things, after woods I held him on my finger with out threat of biting (first time in a while). I placed fresh food in directly after. Hopefully I have not upset anything but I will keep a close eye on the chicks over the next couple of days.
