Be patient, alot of people who have alot of kaks (In australia at least) talk about leaving their birds 3 months together, and if they dont breed they switch the pairs around. I'm normally patient, I have a nice pair of pieds just went down after 5 months in their aviary, once they go down the first time, you will generally get a run of clutches in a row.. 6 weeks is no time at all, they're still getting used to it even being there.. give them time and they will do their thing when they're ready

There are a lot of other combination of things that can influence
Sunlight, day length, weather, diet, food avavibity, mice
Generaly kakariki breed easy but get to many wrong and doesnt happen

They have a good rang of food they have fresh veg/fruit everyday seed every other day egg food every other day fresh water once/twice a day they are kept outside in the aviary so when it's light they have light half of the aviary roof is open so they get sun when they want or shade when they want
So not sure what els i can do really
like i say any input is a great help to me
Thank you very much
