Constant nest building

Post by Lauravdm » Wed Oct 20, 2010 2:11 am

Hey all...
Seems Like my Zebbies are insane!!! :roll:
They are still constantly building nests in different places, and I only have 2 for them to choose from!!! I put a basket in because they wouldn't go into the nest box and would just sit on the perch all night!!! #-o
And then they started building a nest in the basket.... then they stopped and started building a nest in the nest box, which they have now stopped as well and now they are just back to sleeping out in the cold again :roll: #-o
What should I do.... I think they are short on a few sandwiches in their baskets!!!

If your plan is to get them to get down to business, I would remove one of the nests..

And most of the nesting material...zebra cocks are little devils for making egg sandwiches...layer of eggs with more nesting material on top.
