Breeding behavior
The above behaviors are instinctual, especially at breeding time. During spring, when the days begin to get longer, mature females may exhibit nest-building behavior and actively search for nesting materials. They can be very resourceful. If conventional nesting materials are not available, they will look for alternative items such as newspaper to begin construction of their nest. In some females, the urge to build a nest is so strong that they may resort to plucking their own feathers to use as nesting material. Removing the shredded newspaper from your cage without providing nesting materials to replace it can force some birds into this destructive plucking behavior.
