Aviary boxes ...anyone?

[birdinthehand]

I have seen these bird boxes advertised and wondered if anyone has used them. They seem a good idea, but curious to know how you would get the birds to use them, and would they be more interested in using them for nesting, any thoughts ideas please??

My thoughts are that the budgie hens would see this as an encouragement to breed.

This is the downside to night boxes I’m afraid, any hens will just see it as a nest box which could cause fights over ownership.

Would you have space inside to put a very small walk in section, something to the floor, like a phone box type construction?

I am looking into that, the box I have is around 3' long and 2' high, so am hoping the size might calm them down a bit......hoping
