Birds in Backyards informs that the King-Parrots lay their eggs on a bed of decayed wood-dust at the bottom of a deep hollow in the trunk of a tree. Often the entrance is high in the tree (10 m), but the eggs are near the ground (0.5 m); goodness, that's quite a drop; what a lot of work!
The loud call of a King Parrot can also be heard in MP3 format at the above link.
