How does a lutino ring-necked parakeet make its nest?
Lutino (not "Latino," that is a human ethnic group) ring-necked parakeets are not a species. Ring-necked parakeet can refer to any of several species in the genus Psittacula. A lutino is a bird that has a genetic mutation that has removed all of the bird's black pigment. They are yellow or white in places where the normal bird is green or blue. They will build their nests the same way as a normal colored bird. It's not possible to answer the question unless the exact species is known.

What caused the death of Alex the Parrot?
Alex (1976 - September 6, 2007) was an African Grey Parrot and the subject of a thirty-year (1977-2007) experiment by animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg, initially at the University of Arizona and later at Harvard and Brandeis University. Pepperberg bought Alex in a regular pet shop when he was about one year old. The name Alex is actually an acronym for Avian Learning EXperimentOn October 4, 2007 The Alex Foundation posted the following Pathology results: Alex died quickly. He had a sudden, unexpected catastrophic event associated with arterosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"). It was either a fatal arrhythmia, heart attack or stroke, which caused him to die suddenly with no suffering. There was no way to predict his demise. All of his tests, including his cholesterol level and asper levels, came back normal earlier that week. His death could not be connected to his current diet or his age; our veterinarian said that she has seen similar events in young (<10 year old) birds on healthy diets. Most likely, genetics or the same kind of low-level (impossible to detect in birds as yet) inflammatory disease that is related to heart disease in humans was responsible.

The females may want to establish nests; for two pairs (2 males and 2 females) you should provide three nests so they don't have to fight. Also, the males will try to mate with both females if they can, this can also cause fighting.
One time one of my females had eggs and the other didn't. The one that didn't have her own eggs wanted to sit on the eggs belonging to the first one. That caused fighting, but it was OK for the other male to sit on the eggs!
If the cage is too small for so many birds you should separate them.

Of the birds in the common pet trade (excluding mynahs, mockingbirds, lyre birds, etc), only the parrots are likely to talk - and again, there's no guarantee that any given bird will talk.
