Is this a normal habit?

Ok, this is what happens, If Jasper is sitting by himself, Casper will go over to him and try to kinda like give him a kiss, Jasper will fly to the other end and Casper goes after him, then he will walk the cage back to the other end and she follows him, and she does this to him constantly. Is this normal for a female who is almost in the breeding cycle?
And a question about the nesting box, the one I got has the small perch inside the box, should I leave it where it is, put it on the outsode, or take it off?

Ok, I just noticed that Jasper is starting to chase Casper, can someone tell me what these 2 are doing please, I am starting to think these 2 are older then what I thought, Casper's cere is turning a darker brown, and Jasper's cere is turning a brighter pink. Someone explain what is going on with these 2.

awwwww sounds like love to me!!!
they deffinatly sound like they are getting ready to mate.

and yes, put the dowel stick on the outside, not the inside (i think they put it inside for transport)

I hope so, I put the dowel rod on the outside, with them acting like they are, should I go ahead and place the box in the cage now or wait a few days?

its too bad you dont have a deffinate age for them. how old did the pet shop say they were again?

When I got them then pet store said they had them for 2 months and that they were 2 months old when they got them so when I bought them they were 4 months old and I bought them on oct. 17, 2005.
