Is Mating Coming Soon?

We have recently bought a female lutino to go with our male, and today we noticed her going in the nestbox. Is this a sign that they are ready to mate? If so, is the anything I need to be doing to help them along?

Can Indian and Lutino Ringnecks Eat Boiled Eggs?

Can anyone tell me if it is safe to feed your ringneck boiled eggs? I saw these egg cups in the store and bought a few of them for my ringnecks and 2 cockatiels but I really need to know if it is safe to feed them the eggs.

Can anyone help me there?

Thanks,
Loretta

Could A Ringneck Be Housed With Cockatiels?

I have one single lutino male and he seems so lonely and I am getting two Cinamin Cockateils that are a proven pair.

Would there be any harm to my ringneck if I tried to house them together?

Thank you for the reply Jodie. If they are not ready to mate can you tell me why they are staying in the nesting box and already it seems that they are working in there, I bought some nesting hair and just tossed over in there and now they have it fixed in there?

I'm lost about this breeding

Needing Help Similar To A Previous One

My question is can they or will they go into their nesting box together and all these other things just to be doing them? I know that must sound crazy but I too am a new breeder. I have 2 blue ringnecks that I just...
