BRAD D.J IS RIGHT DAVE IS SETTING YOU UP THEY HATE BREEDERS AND
OFFER NO REAL ADVICE IT IS ALL STOCK ANSWERS YOU CAN GET FROM
ANYWHERE INSTEAD OF ACTUAL HANDS ON ....YOU NEED TO BE SURE YOUR
TOOS CAN LIVE TOGETHER COMFORTABLY
SOME PEOPLE HAVE A BACKSIDE TO CAGE WHERE FEMALE CAN ESCAPE AND
GO TO OTHER SIDE AN ESCAPE ROUTE, MY BIRDS DO NOT HAVE THAT
INSTEAD I GIVE THEM A LARGE CAGE AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE AND
DISTURB THEM AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE
THE MALE IS VERY JEALOUS OF HIS FEMALE YOU CAN FIND INFO ON WEB
OF SETTING UP BREEDING COCKATOOS AND WILL FIND NESTBOX DESIGNS
THAT HAVE ESCAPE ROUTES FOR FEMALE
GOODLUCK D.B
