This is very uncommon IF you provide large enough cage,
nestbox and food dishes, enough perches and stimulants in
the cage. A good picture of the cage, I can help tell you
what I think better. But without knwoing or seeing too much
Its hard to say.

You should alway shave a larhe enough cage for any animal
when you breed. Just like us they need space, stimulants,
lots of food, and fresh food and room to get away from
someone.
