Female Chestnut Brested Mannikin
Female Chestnut Breasted Mannikin, she choose this nest over open faced wooden nest boxes that were hidden in silks. Not a fan of wicker baskets, this one is on the back wall of the flight, center of the cage and out in the open. She remains in the nest with her eggs even as I feed and water.

Sounds like a good Mama bird.
By the look she's giving the camera, I wouldn't stick my hand in there
