My blu crowned conures mate up to 5 times a day, and will do it in front of me, as long as I don't look like I'm coming towards them.

No eggs yet, but the female is quite young, so she may not be ready yet. They both go in the nest box - male conures prepare the nest for the female, not sure on amazons. I often see him guarding the nestbox while she is inside it - he looks at me worriedly if I get too close.
