I have heard that this type of parrots mates for life and can reproduce once a year, between January and July, and usually use tree cavities and use the tree year by year. The female three eggs and incubates them between 24 and 28 days. When the eggs hatch, it takes 60 – 65 days for the chick to fledge.
