I have 3 Blood Parrots in a 38 Gallon tank.
What can i do to entice them to mate?
 
Welcome to AA!
Well I'm not entirely sure they can as almost all males are sterile and unable to fertilize the eggs, this is why you see a lot of crossbreeds with firemouths and severums etc...now I'm not saying it can't happen but that's just a bit of info that I know.

Also BP's need a lot of space for their size and territory. I would suggest getting a larger tank. The minimum is 45 gal for one and 10 extra for any more after that. Just a thought.
