Pete,
Well, I've looked but never found them. Maybe I'll ask again at PetSmart. However, I'm currently down to just one bird, the female. The male got out at night while I was sleeping and was quickly dispatched by one of my cats. The cat presence makes me hesitate to acquire another bird... especially if they were to breed and produce little ones that would be even more vulnerable than the adults.
But I was curious about the nest. I will file the information away for possible future use if and when my home becomes cat-less.

I've gotta ask though if the little guy is healthy. Being that he's a bit small, and he fell asleep on your hand like that. I've only known my birds to fall asleep during the day if it's completely quiet in the house, and they'll put their head back in their wings. I was able to tell my Cockatiel was sick one time when he stopped eating, and was closing his eyes and going to sleep while sitting on my shoulder without putting his head back. He had an infection that was quickly cured, but made me realize that any sign of lethargy is a bad thing with birds!
Look at the birdie.....
Ducking and running- eh?
Good idea.

He's healthy, all the chicks are pretty much that way, they go go go then they have naps, then repeat it all over again.
Who you callin a chick?
Perhaps,
but now that I've (just about? LOL) hit forty, it's more work than it used to be.

I know that I'm a fairly new member here, but thankfully I've been following for a long time. If I had only recently started reading these threads I would have thought you'd need a crucifix and a Kevlar glove to hold on to Little Toggle.
Glad to see it's not true!

No it's because Pete doesn't know if it's male or female.

I had a parakeet about 15 years ago. Named him Booger because he was green. He was very tame, and could talk and/or make sound effects with his voice. I taught him to say "hello" and inadvertantly taught him to say "shut up". In the mornings he would chirp along with the other birds, so I would say "shut up". After a while he somehow worked it into his morning routine "chirp chirp shut up chirp chirp chirp..."
One time watching TV. A person on the Tv was taking someone's picture. She said, "Say cheese!" and Booger went "CHEEEEEESE!" in front of me and my parents. My mom who never believed me when I said Booger could talk heard it with her own ears.

I think the full quote is,

Kitty and tweety at the same time.
Said: I will file the information away for possible future use if and when my home becomes cat-less.
(Is there a good joke there, somewhere?)
Rich: I had a cage of parakeets recently while my cat was still alive. I suspended it from a hook in the basement ceiling, (that part of the basment is finished), in such a way that the cat could not jump up directly or from any adjacent surfaces.
The cat would sit at the top of the basement steps [a direct line of sight] steps and watch her *LIVE TV*. I was also able to keep the mess off the main floor, while monitoring them constantly to make sure the cat didn't get too interested.
Of course, I was a good mommy by not reprimanding the cat for her natural inquisitivness and instinct in them, but rather diverted her attention away when she got too excited. I was especially careful when the cage was on the floor for cleaning.

Well, Toggle, I've done something similar, got a tall cage and put it on a tall stand. Cats can't really get into it. The problem is that I also am a firm believer in letting caged birds out for as much exercise as possible. Usually they'd get free use of the house during the day, but they'd retire to their cage when it got dark, and then I'd close the swing door on it.
The problem was one night I forgot to close the cage, the birds got restless in the middle of the night, and I was awoken by the fluttering of wings. Just as I stumbled from the bedroom into the family room where the birds are kept, I heard a "squawk!" from the living room area. I found one bird on the family room floor, unhurt. I couldn't find the other, and he was the stronger flier and more tame. Anyway, it took me a while, but I finally found some feathers by the patio door (where the cat door is), and the I found a cat devouring the remains out in the yard. I didn't punish the cat (he was only following his instinct) but the remaining bird has much less free access than before.
