Strange places for nests, a short story
Once upon a time there were two sisters names Xena and Lupita. They decided to aquire a nest together. (i won't say build a nest, because there was no "building" involved) So they comandeered the local seed dish, and sat on eggs in it together. Here is a "birds eye view" of said nest:
Then one day, their 2 legged mommy of the non-winged variety, had the great idea of trying out some seed hoppers. The finches were afraid of them at first, but quickly adjusted....as you can see from the pictures below.
The end!
Anyone else have any weird nesting place stories?

I feed a seed mix that has bits of dried veggies and fruit it looks like yours only with colourful bits of fruit and veg, then I mix in a little egg biscuit on my own. I'm not convinced they actually eat the egg biscuit, I think they just crumble it to dust to spite me, it's so hard to clean up, it blows all over the place when trying to roll and fold the newspaper with all those fluttering wings! I can't wait until I have my flight cage and button quail to clean up the others' mess!

Mist the paper with a spray bottle first, then the debris won't blow around.Thalia wrote: I think they just crumble it to dust to spite me, it's so hard to clean up, it blows all over the place when trying to roll and fold the newspaper with all those fluttering wings!
