If you don't have a male amazon, and your not experienced with breeding then I wouldn't suggest providing a nestbox, especially to an amazon... You want to discourage breeding or nesting behavoirs, at least until you have more knowledge of the egg laying cycle, as well as the pros and cons of breeding.

I suggest only allowing her 14 hours of sleep, reduce the amount of seeds she gets, and provide mainly fresh foods, and do not give her anything that could be used as a nest or nesting material.
