Parrots, like most bird species, has cloaca on both sexes. It's visible as a hole, but only male produces sperm in his.

When a partner and sometimes nesting place is accepted by female, female bird will agree male's unique mating request (usually singing or "machoing"), and lean (=bow) forward. This will tell the male that female is ready for mating.

Female moves his tailfeathers in a way that male, while holding onto his partner's shoulders, can lean abit backwards and move his cloaca against female's. This will allow the yellowish sperm to move from male to female.

But even parrots mate, it doesn't mean they will lay eggs. Mating is also all parrots' way to show affection, sosialize and deepen the partnership between the two - like humans. But unlike humans or mammals, birds can deside whether to produce eggs or not.

The eggs will be produced inside a female. The shell is made of calcite, a crystalline form of calsium carbonate. It is made in a certain small period of time, and will or will not be fertilized when coming out (depending on many things, including is female laying eggs without male, by herself, or with another female). Female can and in certain situations will lay eggs even with another female or alone (sometimes "with" the owner), but the eggs will not be fertilized, they will be empty.

If the egg is fertilized, in few days it can be seen looking through against small spot of bright light. Fertilized egg will look striped, as the small vains are becoming visible, when / where the embryo will form. The egg will also start to be a little darker, as the fertilized egg will have a starting of a baby bird growing inside it.

Like all birds, parrots reproduce sexually. The female then lays eggs which must be incubated.
