I have a pair of zebras two male society's and 2 female society's in the avary but they are not breeding why ? They have nest boxes half cut nests grass nests and cocunut nests also nesting material food and water really confused

Fraza, how long have they been in the aviary?

If this is a recent home for them, they have to understand that this is their territory. That might take some time, although I wouldn't expect it would take long for these two species.

They have been in it 5 days they was already together in cages tho

You just put them in there sweetie, have some patience

The last time I tried breeding my society finches, they spent 1-2 weeks taking turns sitting on an empty nest before they laid eggs. Another time one of the females only laid eggs after a month of nest access and daily matings. Some of them breed immediately, while others take some time to get comfortable.

Okay thanks Icearstorm and maybe I'm being too impatient lovezebs I'm just used to them breeding rapid in cages

However there was good news last night my zeb finch pair where sleeping in a bed the only ones who have slept in the nest box

There you go...

Thanks guys

Icearstorm have u had luck wth the bird feeders

I haven't found one large enough yet. The hopper feeder I currently use holds 1-2 weeks of food, so I'm sticking with it for now.

Okay let me know if u do
