My birds have used these type of boxes in the past without any issues, and have loved them.

The box is taped securely on the bottom, and will have quite a layer of hay in there on top of which they'll build their actual nest.

You know, that did cross my mind too, lol, but I was concernesd that it would take away from that rustic look... [-X .

Right now I'm all interested to hear how Kyle makes those gorgeous Raffia nests (Raffia Nests Thread). Those look absolutely fantastic, and would be a wonderful project.

Beautiful!!!

They work great, don't they?

Lots of room for even the largest clutches, and for larger birds as well.
