I have a breeder pair of Greys. I blocked off their nest box in Jan 09 because I was going to England for an extended stay. They have raised me some wonderful babies. Now they won’t breed. I allowed them back into their box for a year now. I have tried every trick that I know and haven’t had any luck.
They are a wild caught pair from the Congo. The almost never come out of their box when I am in the bird building. Then the came out of their box for about three weeks. I hadn’t seen them out in their cage that much since I bought them six years ago. Then they went back to their regular routine. They have finished up their moult and still nothing. I have sixteen pair of Amazons and almost every pair either has eggs or working the box.
Please serious answers only!

I didn’t ask for your opinion on the origination of my parrots. Go hug a d*mn tree somewhere.
I am a responsible breeder who takes much better care of my birds than the average person who keeps a pet parrot.

I feed fresh fruits and veggies every day. I give Nekton supplements. My birds are fed a pelleted diet by Zupreem. They are vet checked once a year. They are on a regular regimen for worms. The person who took care of my birds is a very good bird person.
I have averaged raising 36 parrots a season for the last four years. I not concerned with illness in my parrots. I have read where they will stop breeding for several years only to take back up. My birds have been in captivity for 16 years. (documented) They raised big healthy babies in the past. ????????
