I saw this bamboo nesting box at a budgie breeder's place, and I think it's a pretty neat idea.
Since we are doing bamboo crafting here, I "borrowed" one section for demonstration
By the way, I lost the lid part (that will be the piece that I cut off from the piece in the picture), because someone borrowed it back...
But, I was gonna cut away 1/3 of the lid, and use the rest of the 2/3 as a cover for the nesting box. So the birds can get in and out through the 1/3 piece i cut off, but you can lift up the rest of the cover to clean or just see what's inside anyway.
I also did drilled the holes wrong, because the lid is just going to fall off this way, but yeah drill some holes and you can hang up the bamboo tube. You can torch it to burn the bamboo dark, since you probably won't be coloring it. But, you can carve your own design on the tube.
