GD>The box is the egg-stealer one. I think you mentioned something where it 
GD>let's the eggs roll to the center of the box then falls to a padded area 
GD>below the box.
It'so hard to explain without my hands!  The extension is at the side of 
the box nearest the room. It is an extension as wide as the box and deep 
enough (4 inches) that the egg is inaccessible to the bird. The bottom of 
the box needs to be slanted so that the egg will roll out into the 
extension. The extension has an opening the width of the box and high enough 
that the egg can roll out. The part of the extension that is nearest the 
room needs to be padded so the egg doesn't bounce against the wood. 
Naturally nesting material will have to be removed from the box.
GD>One other question. What size are your cages and nest boxes
The Umbrellas are in a suspended cage 4 feet high, 4 feet deep and 6 feet 
wide. The box is 16 inches square and 24 inches deep. My pair is not 
agressive at all so I have a one-hole nestbox.
I think prices on most breeder birds can only increase given the import ban. 
Since AGs are not especially picky about their mate, your best bet may be to 
buy "failed" pets. "Failed" pets can make very good breeders because they 
are accustomed to the human presence and settle down quicker than imported 
breeder birds. The fact that you may be saving the bird from a lonesome life 
in a poor home is an added plus.
My most productive pair of AGs consists of a hen from cage "A" and a male 
from cage "B".
