Hi, I’ve recently bought a breeding pair of elegant parrots (2 days ago) and have witnessed them mating and the female going into the nest box and adjusting it to her likings, so I assume any day now There’ll be eggs. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any websites that had lots of information about elegant parrots? Ive found a few online but nothing about captive ones or anything especially helpful. I obviously know how to take care of them but I was just looking for specific information about their diet and breeding habits? Online it just says budgie seed so I’m giving them a premium budgie mix that has aviary grit in it with fruit and veggies, also something called soluvite D, for extra vitamins and calcium absorption for them. I was also wondering on how people mix soluvite D into water? I followed the instructions perfectly and ended up with dull yellow water, and I don’t feel comfortable about giving this to the birds as I’m not sure if they’ll drink it, or if I put too much. Also, I’ve looked all over the internet but haven’t found an answer to this question, is it ok for them to be Infront of a window? I have the cage half in front of the window, and leave the window open so they can actually get vitamin D. The days haven’t been cold yet, rather warm actually, nor has it been windy. There is a see through curtain between the cage and the window, which lets the light through but keeps the male from marching up and down the length of the cage looking out the window.
