Actually, I don't really have much knowledge on breeding because my birds never laid eggs!

I have caught them mating several times, but they do it very, very rarely......like once a year and only during spring. I have seperated them every time they showed interest in each other because I was not prepared to breed them.

From what you described, it does seem like she's getting ready tp *nest*, but I really don't know if that means she is pregnant. She may not be at all. Keep an eye on her, make sure she has cuttlebone in her cage and is eating it, so she gets enough calcium. I really don't have much advice because I haven't gone through the egg-laying situation, but I know Logan has. Maybe she can help you.

A friend of mine, who has bred birds many many times, told me that if you provide them with a nest box, they do get encouraged to mate and lay more. They still do it without a nest box, but she said they do it ALL the time, if you provide them with a nest box. Maybe that's why my birds aren't really into breeding like others. I refuse to give them a nest box.
