Hey, how are you?  All parrots nest if that is not cool.
Almost all parrots nest in tree hollows (or nest boxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which hatch altricial (helpless) young.

Parrot
Parrots, also known as psittacines , are birds of the roughly 393 species in 92 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia. Characteristic features of parrots include a strong, curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed zygodactyl feet.
Senegal parrot
The Senegal parrot ("Poicephalus senegalus") is a "Poicephalus" parrot which is a resident breeder across a wide range of west Africa. It makes migrations within west Africa, according to the availability of the fruit, seeds and blossoms which make up its diet. It is considered a farm pest in Africa, often feeding on maize or millet. It is popular in aviculture. There are three subspecies. They do not differ in behaviour, but only in the colour of the "vest". In the pet trade, the nominate subspecies is the most common though all three are raised and sold as pets. Senegal parrots are birds of open woodland and savanna.
Companion parrot
A companion parrot is a parrot kept as a pet that interacts abundantly with their human counterpart. Generally, most species of parrot can make excellent companions. Species of parrots that are kept as companions include large parrots, such as amazons, African greys, cockatoos, eclectus, hawk-headed parrots, and macaws; mid-sized birds, such as caiques, conures, quakers, "Pionus", "Poicephalus", rose-ringed parakeets, and rosellas; and many of the smaller types, including "Brotogeris", budgies, cockatiels, parakeets, lovebirds, parrotlets and lineolated parakeets. Some species of lories and lorikeets are kept as pets but are quite messy, and often more popular as aviary birds.
Red-rumped parrot
The red-rumped parrot ("Psephotus haematonotus"), also known as the red-backed parrot or grass parrot, is a common bird of south-eastern Australia, particularly in the Murray-Darling Basin. The red-rumped parrot was described by John Gould in 1838 as "Platycercus haematonotus" from a specimen collected in New South Wales. He felt it was intermediate between the genera "Platycercus" and "Nanodes", placing it in the former. He gave it its species name on account of its red rump. It is the type species for the genus "Psephotus". It was long presumed to be closely related to the mulga parrot, however analysis of multiple genetic material shows it to be an early offshoot of a group containing the genera "Platycercus" and "Barnardius".
Puerto Rican amazon
The Puerto Rican amazon ("Amazona vittata"), also known as the Puerto Rican parrot or iguaca, is the only extant bird endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico belonging to the Neotropical genus "Amazona". Measuring , the bird is a predominantly green parrot with a red forehead and white rings around the eyes. Two subspecies have been described, although there are doubts regarding the distinctiveness of the form "gracilipes" from Culebra Island, extinct since 1912. Its closest relatives are believed to be the Cuban amazon and the Hispaniolan amazon. The Puerto Rican amazon reaches sexual maturity at between three and four years of age.
Cockatoo
A cockatoo is a parrot that is any of the 21 species belonging to the bird family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes (parrots). The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the showy crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail.
Psittacus
Psittacus is a genus of African parrots in the subfamily "Psittacinae". It contains the two species: the grey parrot ("Psittacus erithacus") and the Timneh parrot ("Psittacus timneh"). For many years, the grey parrot and Timneh parrot were classified as subspecies; the former as the nominate, the latter as "P. e. timneh". However, in 2012 the taxa were recognized as separate species by BirdLife International on the basis of genetic, morphological, plumage and vocal differences. These parrots are found in the primary and secondary rainforest of West and Central Africa. They are among the most intelligent birds in the world.
