Loading ...Breeding cages or nest boxes in flight area ?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Can anyone advise me on which is best,
1) nest boxes in the flight area allowing my 2 sets of birds to just have a “free for all” attitude or
2) put them 2 sets into their own private breeding cage and let them get on with it.
I have had 2 answers from bird loving friends but one said colony breeding with nest boxes and the other said hand picked certain birds in private quarters. I am so confused now HELP…

If you have canaries and finches ect. then colony breeding’s fine. But when I tried colony breeding with budgies and cockatiel and I found the other birds of the same species kept killing the babies when they was a few weeks old when the parents left to feed, so I’d go with cage breeding.

Hi,
It depends what species you want to breed, softbills finches etc will be fine but budgies may be problematic but all other hook bills are fine with colony breeding.
Budgies can be aggressive and hens can be jealous and in a colony aviary these hens can kill ckicks, eat eggs etc so with budgies its best to go with cages this way its one pair to one cage so no problems.
