πͺΊ Nestbox with Pairing Box: What It Is
Itβs a combined enclosure:
Pairing box: for the male and female to meet, bond, and settle.
Nestbox: where the female lays eggs and chicks are hatched/raised.
This combo supports the entire breeding process in captivity.
π§° Typical Usage
1. Mounting or Placement
Attach the box inside or outside the birdcage/aviary.
Make sure the entrance hole faces a calm area, away from noise and direct sunlight.
Can be placed slightly elevated inside the cage.
2. Adding Nesting Materials
Provide soft materials like:
Dried grass
Coconut fiber
Cotton
Soft twigs
Let the birds build the nest themselves inside the nesting chamber.
3. Introducing the Pair
Place a healthy male and female in the pairing box.
Allow them time to bond and start nesting naturally.
They may explore and rearrange nesting material.
4. Monitoring Breeding
The female will usually lay 3β6 eggs.
Eggs hatch after 10β14 days (depending on species).
Chicks stay in the nest for 15β25 days before fledging.

Disinfect the box between uses to prevent disease.
