hi..I need advice..I have a 4yr old eclectus who last year began at every opportunity climbing down from her cage and chewing to bits the bottoms of my kitchen cupboards.Someone suggested she was trying to gather materials to create a nest as at the same time she was spending ages scratching around one corner of the top of the cage. I was given a nest box last April and basically she disappeared into it and has laid a series of eggs since then,sitting on each for 4/6 weeks before they disappear. She comes out to eat,preen a little, and she looks well...but she didn't get out to her outdoor cage at all last summer.. also she becomes quite territorial about the nest box. I would really appreciate any comments about this...thanking you in anticipation.....
