I have two parakeets (budgies) and two doves. I want to build an aviary in my backyard for my birds (I don’t like seeing them in a small cage) I live in the san jose, ca area and I was wondering if my parakeets would be fine living outside if the have nest boxes to sleep in? My parakeets are not tamed in any way so I am not worried about keeping them tamed or anything like that.

I have 7 bird 3 males and 4 females, I have them in this huge aviary and i would like to breed them, but i only have one nest box. How can i make my own nest boxes for them. I was thinking of taking some balloons, and paper mashaying them, then cuttingg a hole on one side, then painting them, and then hang them up, but i dont know if that is a good idea. If you got any ideas please tell me. If not…… Do you know any where i can get them cheap.
My lovebirds have started to spend alot of time in their nest boxes, with the male mostly peeking his head out or standing on the perch just outisde. i havent seen them prepare a nest, and there is nothing in the box, so i wouldnt think they are. It has started getting hot here (im in qatar, mideast) so maybe they just want shade? i usually leave them outside to communicate with other bird types, they love it. but now they are just staying inside the box. even when i take them in at sunset, they still stay in the box. whats happening?
ive actually just seen them jump out and start chirping, i know its at the other birds, but now theyve went back in.
i currently have 11 linnies and they are very cute birds…….anyway i have them out side in a 6 foot breeding cage they re ll very freindly i no i have one pair male and female but i dont no any signs if they have bred or in breeding ……….. i have 4 nest boxes up and they all sleep in one box lol sooo cute to see haha awww… but can some one give some info on signs that they are breeding thankyou …

i have 6 lovebirds(3 pairs) that live in an aviary outside. tnight is suposed to be below freezing and we live in socal so they arnt used to this. so i put in 4 nezt boxes. they arnt hung because its dark and i just wanted to get them in ther. i coverd the doors and sides and half the roof with a table cloth material to block the wind. im scared if it gets any colder im gonna wake up to 6 dead birds. so will they be ok? they all know what to do with nest boxes because they are all breeding birds. or should i, against my parents wishes, pull them and put them in a cage in the unused(for cars) bay of the garage. it is really cold and windy..
