We have a Quaker Parrot, and I know you have to get them DNA sexed. But if it is a female at what age do they usually lay eggs? And do you need a nestbox in order for this to happen, or would they lay them right on the bottom of the cage? (the bottom has like a grate thing over it)

Usually a bird will start to lay eggs after 1 year of age or more . A nest box is a great idea, since she would make a nest in the wild. Nests are only used for egg laying and taking care hatchlings. After they learn to fly, the nest gets abandoned by all.

12 to 18 months old they become sexually active, that is speaking of the Quaker Parrot.
