Building a Screech Owl Nesting Box
My lovebirds just started to build a nest in hanging fleece hut.?
Is nest building normal? or does it always mean eggs are soon to follow? I have 2 lovebirds, not sure of sex- one definitely female who is the nest builder. I have no desire to breed these birds-what are your suggestions? Let them lay eggs, continue with building the nest and if eggs come – remove them? or, Disrupt behavior, take down fleece hut and separate birds? Do female birds always build nests, even without a male partner? The female is constantly in the fleece hut and the other one is hanging outside the hut, occasionally making a visit. What do these behaviors indicate? The only reason I can see why the behavior changed with the birds is I recently put palm shredder pieces into the cage- no nesting box- no paper towels, nothing different other than the shredders. Would this trigger mating behavior? Or coincidental? It is winter here in Philly, do they breed all year round- I thought spring was the season. Thanks for your help.

Bird Box Making Something From Scrap Wood…. MensHelpTv
I make something out of scrap wood, watch and see how simple you can do the same also. This simple box can be a cheap project children and family can do together, you can use sandpaper and glue a nail or screw. More so you can change the hole in the bird box to make larger if you want to see larger birds enter and add you’re own extras.

How does one build a nest box for wild pied fantails?
I’ve read that styles of nesting boxes differ according to type of bird. Can anyone provide a link to a website that offers specific instructions in building one? I would like to place several pieces in my garden.
