Review on 🐦 3-Inch Canary Twig Birds Nest by Prevue Pet Products - BPV1150 by Andrea Nash

I have three male zebra finches. They are brothers, the last of two clutches that hatched in 2009. They like to sit in their food bowls and to make room for them they will throw lots of seeds on the floor of their cage. I bought them some of these nests to give them an alternative seating area so they don't make such a big mess and waste so much food. Well, my birds were afraid of them at first. But that's not so important. They are little birds, after all, and there were NEW THINGS in their cages. They are slowly getting used to their presence, although they are not yet in it. I give time The construction is solid. You will maintain a decent weight. A straw or two (or whatever they are) sticks out, but that doesn't detract from the overall performance. I put in a few strips of toilet paper for nesting material, as it's cheap, biodegradable, easy to replace, and non-hazardous (don't use cotton fluff or twine, either of which could wrap around your bird's limbs and cut off). ). Traffic). The only thing I don't like is the way it attaches to the cage. The metal (you can see it in the product image) is quite stiff and difficult to bend, but you really have to bend it to keep the jack from tipping forward and falling off. It would be a lot easier to do this in a cage with no birds (so if you're in the process of setting it up, add a nest first). Alternatively it would be fairly easy to add your own attachment mechanism as you can attach narrow things between branches/straws. In general I am satisfied with the purchase. It's only been a few days and I'm sure my birds will arrive. I've had pairs of birds (zebra finches or social finches only - I think I'd get something bigger for a canary or parakeet) I've raised a few chicks in similar nests in the past so if you're looking for something for that purpose as long as you make sure that it is safe, you will be fine.
