Quakers are the only species of parrot that are known to build their own nest.

This is directly from the article about breeding quakers I found at the link below:

We hang a cockatiel-sized nest box made of 24 gauge metal (also due to their chewing ability!) on the upper half on the end of each cage, and provide them with plenty of straw, twigs and branches with which to construct their nest. Metal nestboxes are sometimes used because they can be disinfected with a bleach solution and reused from one season to the next. Some pairs have done just as well with simple untreated pine shavings as a nesting material in a Cockatiel or conure sized pine nestbox.
