Prevue Pet Parakeet Nest Box Natural

The Prevue Pet Parakeet Nest Box has been described as a nest that can be used with both parrots and budgies. I bought it for English budgies. The entrance hole in this nest is too small for budgies. In addition, the box is narrow on the side and has no recess in the floor for the nesting place. I contacted the company and they sent me a packing list, but when I took it to the post office to be mailed, the postage was a few dollars. more than I paid for the nest box so I wasn't paid for theโ€ฆ

  • Suitable for Indoor or Outdoor Use

"Indented floor "? Hm.

Overall I am happy with this nest. BUT I wouldn't say the bottom is depressed. Maybe a millimeter or two, but barely noticeable. Most of the drawers seem sturdy/well made, I like the accessibility to check the nest and mine comes with cage hooks. But the floor looks like chipboard with some kind of (slippery) laminate. There is a round hole in the laminate that indicates a recess and exposes the chipboard. A rotating tool must be used to create indents so that it appears as if it is distortedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Notch on the inside of the bottom to prevent the eggs from rolling
Cons
  • Quality

Nice design but thin/small entrance

First order came without side panel and hanger. The second is complete. I really like the notch in the bottom to keep the eggs centered and the plastic bottom is roughened to prevent splaying. The pages are paper thin. My budgie has been chewing on this and it doesn't look like it's going to last long. The hole is so small my regular sized budgies can't fit through it so my husband had to drill a larger hole and I bought a medium sized budgie hole. The hole was smaller than the regular woodenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Shit - lousy bolts, wing nut and bolt would be better

My parrots and I tried to make this work in a cage. They patiently awaited each new adaptation, trying to get hold of the only chick we have. We had to listen to the poor guy yelling for food while struggling for many hours to make it work. My 4 parrots and I rated this product as crap. They didn't like to sit on a very thin wall to feed the chick. In fact, they couldn't even balance and feed the chick. Even with a small round hole and a pole, they couldn't reach the chick. In the end I tapedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Not worth the money, not as safe as it should be.

I have very curious parrots who love to explore. I find that this crate is not secure: 1) The metal hooks that hang the crate from the cage: A) The hooks that come with the crate are too big and cause the crate to sit far enough away from the cage, so that a curious bird can sit on it and get stuck between the cage and the crate. B) In addition, the ends of the hooks are sharp and may cause injury. The sharp edges are close enough that a bird holding onto the edge of the cage could injureโ€ฆ

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
