Dear Cockatiel Breeders,
I was looking on how I could put our Cockatiel’s nest box so that they could go inside of it and outside at night, and I found a video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odm4xJfNAxY&feature=related ) that had a very interesting way they put their Cockatiel’s nest box.
The position we had and still currently have it is on the top of the cage. It is tied down and can not harm any of the bird(s) inside of it. But the problem is that we close the cage at night, so Grey Grey (female) can’t get into the nest box at night, and when she is in it she can’t get to the food without leaving the nest, which could probably kill the babies if she is gone for too long.
I wanted to fit in inside the cage, but there wouldn’t be enough room for the Cocktiels themselves!
This breeder had her nest box in a very interesting way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odm4xJfNAxY&feature=related And I was wondering would the rough edges from the cut bars hurt the birds if they tried to get in/out of the nest box and cut them?
Or would it be okay if I put it that way? We haven’t done it yet, and Grey Grey is nearing the day she’ll lay her eggs. Would this be okay, or should I put it a different way?
Any suggestions, comments, or answer will be greatly appreciated!
what do i do if the other eggs hatch and she does this again? please help!
