I have three sets of keets and I am going to breed them. . I have read allot on info and I recently ran across a guy talking about the fact that he does not and never has used a box. . .I have also heard of keets laying in food dishes, bottom of cages and other random places. . .
my question is
Has any one had a bird that layed eggs in a odd place OR does any one have experience in breeding without a nest box? if so I want to know where they layed and what materials do you use

i was given a pair of unwanted keets about two months ago. the female (green) with the help of the male (blue) completely dug out a large opening in a bird nesting box (cylindrical shaped wooden thing) They mated while with their last owner but the female never laid any eggs. i knew the male was quite a bit older than the female; so I figured it was too old. so i bought a new male (blue) and put in with the other two. the old male began acting territorial with the new male, so i separated him into another cage in another room. the female still called to the old male for several days although less now. the new male and female get along great. she began taking interest in the nest again soon after introduing the new male. Only one thing, she does this funny thing where she spends alot of time on the perch under (perch goes from one end of the cage to theother and under the nest) under the nest; almost like she is hiding under the nest; she comes out of course and eats and interacts with the male; mostly chasing around and hopping from perch to perch, swing to perch, etc. but alot of time hiding underneath the cylindrical nest. should i move the perch so that it is not under the nest, remove the nest, get them a new nest for her to work on with the new male?
thanks for any answers.
I have too parakeets male and female, Chirpo And Trixy! When they come out and do a courtship dance. They lock beaks and rise the bases their wings. Trixy goes in a bird house we put in but has no nesting in the box, we put paper shreds but its not working! What can i use for nesting stuff? My keets are not tame, how can i tame their babies without being bit? Thanks ~josie~
