Scarlet chested austrailian keets

[Kimbee]

Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I have a question about scarlet chested aust. keets. I purchased a male and a female at a bird show about 8 months ago. I put a nest box on the cage and they immediately laid 7 eggs. All were infertle though. Anyway, I have searched and searched and cannot find any info on them at all. Well, what I have found has been VERY little. Does anyone here have any info on them or know of where I can go to get info on them? THANKS!

There's a message board dedicated to breeding Australian Parakeets:

If you sure you have an unrelated male and female, you may want to wait a few more months before letting them breed again... they might be a bit too young. Or at least trying to wait until it's spring to breed them again which is in a couple more months...
