Breeding Activity or Ring Around the Rosie?

[Chrisplosion]

The male I think wants to breed but the female doesn't want to. Yesterday I bumped the temp up to 83-84F and a few moments ago I covered the tank with a sheet because the female is skittish when ever I move. I also taped my webcam to the wall behind the tank to see whats going on with moving the sheet. I WANT ME SOME BABIES!

Tell me what you think is going on.

Thats what I thought but the female's actions concern me. Is this normal female breeding behavior, to peck at the male?

Yes. It's all 4play.

The female has been digging out the log in the tank but she won't let the male in or near it. When she laid eggs with my "alpha male" parrot he was able to help prepare the site.

Is it normal for the female to not let the male help?
