It's not good to let them have more than two clutches each breeding season. Take out the female (put her in a different cage) and let the male take over feeding the chicks. Change the toys and perches around regularly and make sure the female gets no more than 8 hours of daylight (cover her cage with a blanket). You can put them back together again once the chicks are weaned and the male and female are out of breeding condition. Make sure you keep changing the cage at least once a week and keep up with their covering schedule until you're ready for them to breed. Don't give them a nest box until the next time you're ready to breed them.

No problem. Just make sure you keep up with the rearranging and the sleeping schedule. :)
