	I've found that my cockatiels go nuts and start having sex
whenever i supply them with nesting hair and place it in their box. 
I've also noticed that when I use pine small animal shaving material
rather than corn-cob chunks in the bottom of the cage, they go nuts and
really love it. Does anyone else have any tips as far as encouraging
them to breed? Amount of light per day, room temp, etc? I've also noticed
that they perfer lots of entertainment. I live in a fraternity house and
they seem to like all the action more than the boring day to day life in
the apartment where i lived last semester.

	Thanks, 
	-Eric
