Providing a Nest For Same-Sex Zebra Finch Pairs?

[Amazon1610]

As my other posts read, I am planning on purchasing a pair of Zebra Finches in the near future to keep as pets. To eliminate the risk of breeding, I will not be getting an opposite-sex pair. However, I want to ask you all in the Finch Forum community if providing a nest, such as a bamboo nest, for a same-sex pair, whether male or female, would be a viable option. I've heard that same-sex pairs may fight for control of the nest, but I've seen the Zebra Finches at my local pet store cuddle together in a bamboo nest to rest. What are your opinions on this matter? Also, if it is acceptable for me to provide them a nest for sleeping, should I provide nesting materials for them? The nest in the store didn't have any material, but the finches seemed fine.

Thank you for the advise in advance.

If you get males then definitely give them a nest and materials and watch their amazing skills. If you get girls then a as long as they are nice to each other then one nest will be fine.

Amazon1610 Yh you can get a nest for sure the males will make a brilliat creation aswell which will be good to watch as you have already been told but I wouldn’t advise it if you get two females because these will just lay eggs and eggs all the time that could cause them to get egg bound

I personally wouldn’t give two males a nest as it’s not exactly needed, but if you want to watch them cuddle up in a nest, then why not? On the other hand definitley don’t give two females a nest as they will honestly lay until they get egg bound and die.

Yeah and even when there isn’t a nest sometimes they lay a whole pile of eggs on the ground. Silly birdies.
