Although he is feeding her, she still want to eat on her own, but he will not let her. Is this normal? Should I intervene?

She will need as much as she can have, laying eggs and feeding chicks is draining.

Also, can you hang a seed pot just outside the box opening so that she doesn't have to go too far? Maybe Mr thinks Mrs is being too independent.
