put cotton or sticks in it, and you can even buy nesting supplies at a pet store.

A nesting box gives a hen a comfortable and secure place to lay her eggs.
parakeets love to be protective of there baby's and they also like dark and private spaces since a nesting box is dark and small and private they will love to hatch they baby eggs in a nesting box and so they eggs cant fall and be safe too.
No The only time I have seen a rooster in a nesting box was when it was sick or injured. The nesting boxes are used for "nesting". Laying eggs or when brooding. The roosters do not do this. If you have a rooster doing this there is something wrong. He is either being harassed by another rooster in the flock or he is hurt or sick. It is easier to protect themselves from harm when in a "sheltered" place.
This is usually because the hen could not get access to the nesting box when she needed it. Add a new nesting box to the coop and remove some of the bedding from the box she usually uses to the new one.
This is typical pre-nesting behaviour. The budgies, in particular the female, are preparing the nesting box for nesting. Some pairs of budgies never successfully breed, but they still display all the signs and behaviour of wanting to nest.

Nesting boxes for all types of birds are available at almost all pet stores, for fairly reasonable prices. If you find those expensive, you could make your own nesting box using a cardboard bow, twigs, hay, straw, thread, wool, cotton, etc.
In the wild, most birds would find hollows in tree trunks that other animals made and nest in them. If you are trying to breed your parakeets, you will need a nesting box. Petsmart has them, make sure you get the right size, and don't get a dark colored one. That sometimes will make them ignore it.
Get a computer cam an hang it in the nesting box but maybe you should ask someone else becouse im only 11 but i know every thing about any animal no lie
