Is my parakeet pregnant?

My female keeps flying in the tissue box nesting box i made for her and chews it up and throws the leftovers inside the box…Then she goes in for a few minutes…The male comes by and feeds her and this has been going on for about 3 days…I am not sure what is happening…Sometimes the male goes in the nesting box too…I dont know what that means either…When my bird comes out of the nesting box her vent has a small bump beneath it…Does that mean shes about to lay…Can someone please help me with all of these questions! Your help will be appreciated =)

I’m new to lovebirds. How do I handle a nesty stressed lovebird?

I have 2 young lovebirds (a 10 month old and a 4 month old). I don’t know their genders but the older one seems to be acting very nesty and shredding obsessively. My older bird’s vent is also kinda swollen but I don’t see an egg bump near his butt.
I’m not interested in breeding at all. But I just I want to know how I can help ease my bird’s stress? Should I get a nest box?
They also have separate sleeping cages at night and shares a flight cage during the day.
They’ve been to an avian vet. He said they’re healthy. As for separating them, the younger bird is already attached to the other. They’ve been sharing the play cage for a month and it would only stress them out more. Thanks for your input
