i put a nesting box inside of my cockatiels cage. while the box is inside of the cage the birds will not go near it, however each time i clean the cage i put the box on top of it until the cage is clean. this is when the male bird goes to the box and begins to peck at it as if he is trying to make the hole wider. he then makes his whistling sound to entice the female. she then goes to the box and acts as if she is inspecting it. should i keep the box on top of the cage or continue to keep it inside ?
once again HELP!
