Hi Becky dont worry, it is very normal, sounds like they are arguing about who's the biggest and boss of the cage  as long as it doesnt come down to fistycuffs they will be fine and settle in nicely |

not really, they will use them when they decide they are feeling fruity lol you could try moving them to another position and see if that helps (the nest boxes i meant lol) try getting them as close to the top and back of the cage as you can, the more sheltered they are the more comfortable they will feel in getting in them either that or get them to visit telmadee's aviary, she's having trouble with stopping them from breeding :0 might be something in the water  lol |

When i first started breeding Becky, i put some Millett spray and some apple inside the box to try coax them in. |

Harry and Minty are always chatting each other up, in our case I think they are feeling fruity but the girls are not interested. So they chat up the only birds who are in the mood each other #rolleyes#
