Ruppells working nest box

Having moved the Red Bellied parrots & Ruppells pairs into their new house merely 2 weeks ago, I am delighted with progress as not only is the older pair starting to spend time in their nest box but so is the younger pair. This is a real surprise with the younger pair are only around 18 months old. Perhaps being stimulated with the older pair next to them. However still nothing positive from the Red Bellied pairs.

The Ruppells are so much like the Meyers parrots I used to keep, in behaviour they are very active and looking into everything very excitable small parrots. The Red Bellied parrots are more like Senegals, more reserved shy nervous parrots more easily spooked. Larger than the Ruppells and very similar to the physical characteristics of the Senegals.
