Secondly there should be enough nest boxes for all the females there should also be no birds unpaired.
They will need to be given cuttlefish bone fresh fruit and veggies also egg food which is designed for hand feeding and weaning chicks you can get this from any petstore.

The room temprature needs to be kept correct.
You need to know the age of the birds as they should be atleast 18months old before breeding them.

You need to know when your females are in breeding mode.

Providing the nests are the same height then each pair should pick there own nest and will protect it from the others.

Provide them with soft foods like boiled pasta, brown rice, whole wheat bread, boiled eggs you can even mash the shells in with
the eggs this will give extra calcium.

Also they will need to have a dish of warm water available to them this helps keep the nest moist and makes it easier for chicks to break out of the shells when hatching.
