is something wrong with my parakeets?

they’re making some noise now but they don’t move a whole lot or play with the toys i gave them. i put in a nesting box but they don’t go in it. this is my first time with parakeets but my family has been raising canaries and some miniature parrots since i was 5, so i’m not a beginner with birds. i don’t buy birds at pet stores so these were from a breeder. she said they’d had babies before and that the female would probably lay eggs soon. they’re better than they were a few days ago but i’m still wondering, am i doing something wrong?

im looking into breeding birds?

1 witch will sell better Canaries or finches
2 how big does the entry of the nest box have to be
3 can i use a bird house and do i even need a nest box
4 is 7/8 of an inch good for the entry of the nest box or the bird house
5 any thing else i need to know

What size cage should I get for my birds?

I have two Bourke’s parakeets and I want them to lay eggs. I put in a nest box and I am waiting for them to use it. I know that you have to wait and be patient, but while I’m waiting, I think I should get another cage so that they will have their own cage and I will leave the old cage for the canaries (they get along well) I know a lot about birds, just through research (Maybe I’m a bird expert…in some ways – not breeding though) So I want to know how big a cage I should get for about 5-6 birds. I also want them to have enough room to fly when they want to, so what are your suggestions?
I THINK a 5x3x2 cage is good?
