Question
i have a pair of quaker parrots and she is laying in the cage and not getting in her breeding box what can i do

Answer
Make sure you have the right type of breeder box for your species of parrot, I don't know off hand what type quakers like but it could be an issue. Also possibly the breeder box is on a high traffic area of the cage, or too low on the cage, parrot like a quiet area to lay their eggs. There also might be inappropriate nesting material, or let her buid her own nest by laying the material at the bottom of the cage. Also make sure another bird did not use the nest box before her. The only other thing you can do is move a nest box to the bottom of the cage, as a last option though.
