What a tough situation. Breeding is a HUGE responsibility.
It is hard to tell if it has already *happened*. I don't know much about breeding either, but if she is going to have her chicks, yes, you need a nesting box.
I would advise to bring your female into the avian vet, to see if the vet would be able to tell.
When the nesting part is over, I would take the nesting box out. I think that it may encourage her to nest again.
Please keep us updated.
P.S. I have heard many times that breeding is VERY stressful. My friend's tiels (she had them quite a while ago.) bred, and she did have her babies. Sadly, none of them lived. They think that they did everything right, but they did not disinfect the feeder that they used in between chicks. She said that after the last chick died [it had been a while, also] she was so stressed out, and sad. To this day she wonders what she could have done better.
Make sure to research a LOT.
Good luck!
