The use of a separate sleeping cage is supposed to cut back on negative breeding behaviour. Because parrots only stay in one place all day and all night when they are breeding it can help if you are having problems with raging hormones. When parrots are not breeding they move from their roosting sites in the morning to their various feeding grounds during the day then back to their roost at night. I don't provide a separate sleeping cage for any of my birds, but I would if I ever start having a problem with their breeding times, and prolonged breeding condition. There are lots of other methods to help with problem breeding conditions, such as what you are feeding them and the hours they get to sleep .
