Should I clean the nest box while there are parrotlet babies?
We clean our nest boxes 2-3 times after the entire clutch of parrotlet babies have hatched. Cleaning the pine shavings inside the parrotlet nest box is very important. Parrotlet poop can build up very quickly. Cleaning the nest box properly is needed once the clutch is weaned. Where should I put the babies when I change the wood shavings? We use a circular tub with a towel placed inside as a temporary holding unit while we clean out the wood shavings inside the nest box. Babies are placed back into the clean nest box after cleaning.
