My co-worker thinks a better name for them is porcupine parrotlets. If you want more detailed knowledge of parrotlet behavior and nesting, check out these two references in particular: Beissinger, SR, and JR Waltman (1991) Extraordinary clutch size and hatching asynchrony of a neotropical parrot. The Auk 108: 863-871.
