If you decide to breed such birds, then it is mandatory to equip them place for nesting. It is believed that the best option for this is a house from a tree, it is there that will be comfortable to feel the chicks and their parents. Let's deal with more in more detail in how to make a nest for parrots and what you need to know about this process.

Perfect nest

The best raw material for the purposes under consideration is a plywood from a tree or chipboard (one is also not bad material). To create a cozy nest, you will need several hundreds of which walls, gender and ceiling will be made. Roughly speaking, we need to make a box for the housing of Parrots.

So, the number of necessary boards 6 pieces. At the same time, they can be both square and four of them may have a rectangular shape, and two are square. In one of the boards you will need to make a hole round form. Its size should be large enough for the parrots without any problems can be closed in the house and just get out of it. In this case, the minimum size should be at least 4.5 cm in diameter (in size, the required opening can be compared with a small mirror).

No lamps in the constructed construction is not necessary (no other lighting devices will not be needed there). Parrots in this case are not finicky birds, and the lighting is not necessary, in principle.

There is a very important rule - in any case it is impossible to put the cage with a nest in drafts, near open windows, doors etc. Otherwise, the birds will help to catch a cold too.

It should be understood that it is very important to make the nest of birds cozy and warm, because only in such housing a female will agree to reproduction. There are several types of nests, and in order to determine. Which one is best, you need to consider each more.

It should also be noted that in the nests, the ripened individuals do not live, it is a place exclusively to surround the future offspring.

Nest parameters

The dimensions of the socket depend on the parameters of the cell in which the birds live, if the cell is very large, then it is not necessary to make a nest on the shelter, because it should be cozy, and too large space is so impossible. If you have no idea what the size of doing a house, then we will tell you about the standard option that is suitable in most cases.

So, the parameters of the standard nest:

• boards must be 27 by 22 cm
• if the lodge is vertical, then the height should be 27 cm, and the length of at least 22 cm
• if you decide to make a slot horizontal, then the parameters will be as follows - the height is 22 cm, the length is 27 cm.

Under the hole in the hill, you need to attach a barbell, and it must be through, that is, it should be outside of 11 cm long, and inside - 4 cm.

Very important factor in the case under consideration is ventilation. To ensure normal air masses in the house, you need to make small hole on the sides, the size of which is not more than 1 cm.

Features of self-made nest

The pilot (so called a hole in the future lomica) you need to take in the middle of the front of the house if this is a vertical socket (in the case under consideration from the upper edge you will need to retreat 4 cm). Do not forget that in this case there are some disadvantages, the main of which is the high probability of damage to the demolished eggs, which lie in the house.

If you do a horizontal house, the likelihood of damage to the demolished eggs is minimal. You should not forget that under the straddle it is mandatory to make a small step, which will ensure the integrity and inviolability of eggs (the female will not cling them when it comes into the cage). In this case, the hole must be made on the side of the side, because the hatched chicks will observe the world around this hole.

The optimal option in the case under consideration is the sockets of the combined type, because in their characteristic there are positive qualities and horizontal and vertical socket. The female is convenient to cross eggs in such a nest, and the eggs remain in preservation until the birth of the chips.
