Gaile your very clever, ive just bought one but had to replace the MDF concave, OH made me one out of pine, its not brilliant co's its difficult to get the well right but ive sanded it nice and smooth. What is yours made from, its great.

Board is easier for construction but also for destruction by the birds.... be aware of potentially toxic glue in the board if they start to shred this. I personally prefer untreated wood.

You have some lovely colours matched up there, Gaile. There should be some pretty babies out of that lot.

It looks very interesting So the birds just drop in and climb out? Sorry, I haven't seen this design before

All very exciting Gaile, some lovely pairs. Question, do you wait until yours are in condition before pairing or do they come into condition once they are paired. I haven't seen this design of nest box before either but im sure you used them last year with good results?, is there a perch inside to help them back out or do they just do what come naturally to a bud and climb out .

I wait till the budgie are in condition.
the nest box has the concave at the front near the lid and then there is a block of wood to help them get out!
