Most parrot males tend to get upset when the female comes out of the nest....thu not quite as common with kakariki...the male usually calls the female out at feeding time (when I fill the veggie trays)

Unless he is damaging her, it is not a problem.

Yes the female calls the male from inside the nest, usually calling him to feed her in there.
