My birds try mating everyday and the female goes in the nest box everyday for 2-3 hours. They have been doing this for a week. So when should the eggs be here? And where should the perch be, inside or out? I have a separate perch just outside of the box so the birds can get in, but the box comes with a perch which I put inside. Should that stay there or should I take it out to make the inside of the box more roomy?
okay here goes the story. i have just gotten two zebra finches recentaly. a male (romeo) and a female (juliet), they seem to be mating because romeo keeps jumping on juliet’s head and back. the only problem is that i was reading simalr questions on tthis program , and some of them said that they wont lay eggs unless they have a wooden nesting box!! is this true?
the birds do have a breeding nest that was bought at a pet store and it would fit into there cages better than a wooden one. it said breeding nest on the front so … you figure. i am sure that it is fine i just am curious. also how small are the eggs compared to a certain coin?
thank you for all your help, it is greatly appreciated!!
in this video you will see a pair meeting for the first time and only had 5 seonds to meet and this was the outcome…..lolenjoy the video.

is there any way to get the birds to actually use the nesting box?? there’s 2 boxes in there but they seem to be fighting over the one that one bird already has eggs in. are there any ways to get the other couples (birds) to use the other box??
I bought two cockatiels a year and a half ago (male & female), they have been going through the motions of mating quite regularly, however i accquired another bird from a neighbor who is an older bird but has lain unfertilized eggs. i kept her from my other two birds for over a month. she has now chosen to move in with the others & they get along fine i bought them a bigger cage . my question is will my male mate with both females? Should I put a nesting box in the cage as my two birds are still mating ? please help!!
I have bought a nesting box but they don’t show no interest in it.I was givin these birds and the people didn’t know the age or sex. They get along just fine together, but no interest in mating.
