Budgies!!! - nestbox interest

Post by DanteD716 » Tue Oct 02, 2012 7:13 pm

So before my budgies avoided the nestbox like the plague (though the male used to peer in) Yesterday as I walked by I though I saw him fly out the box but hen though "nah" now he sits on the nestbox perch all day and when you walk up to the cage he dives in!!!!!

He was my secret: I rearanged the bird setup, In front of my chimney is two cages, my zebra (set up to house her mate :wink: ) and my budgie cage... Well the end of the cage with the nestbox is infront of the chiminey, they other end sort of sticks out of the chimney (like off to the side so it is open room behind that end) so the nestbox end porblay feels safer because it has a solid wall behind it, so not he sits on that side, making his curiosity go investigate the box!!!

Off-topic, but as for set up above the two cages mentioned above is a canary cage mounted on the chimney (hoping to find one or two for it) in front of the large windows will be the flight I am building (will house 2-3 pairs of finches, possibly 2 finch pairs and a diamond dove pair) then on the other end of the windows is my first flight which will house 2 pairs of finches, on top of that flight is a small breeder cae 1 pair of finches, then I have another breeder cage which will be extra as of now.. But not all cages will be full, probaly onlyone or two after the birdfair. In addition im going to build a plexi glass cage (4 sided) in a pen shape for the middle of the room for button quail. Sorry so off topic but I am excited. lol
