Is there anything special I need other than time and a nest box to help my IRN breed? I am in illinois and I didn't know if they need anything special like the lighting temp or anything?

The right season to breed.
some bedding in the nest box (check out what some use for bedding material on this site)
nice steady perches (for mating)
Lots of fresh fruit and veg.
