what do zebra finch pefer?????

Question

i just bought a nest for my zebra finch it is shaped like a gord but is made of grasses and stuff like that will they nest in it? Or should i buy a nest box ar a nest that is open like a robin nest (for exzample)

Answer 1

When they are ready to breed, they will nest in just about anything. I have even seen mine trying to build nests in their food dish. So, yes the nest you bought should work just fine. I believe the best nest is free so I like to make my own out of those small single size milk or OJ cartons. Plus, when they are done using the nest I can just throw it away instead of trying to clean it out to re use it.

Answer 2

Every finch I've ever seen has nested in the straw or grass nests. My parakeets only poop on their nest box (the wooden kind)

Answer 3

if you give your finches torn up pieces of newspaper, they will make a nest of it, no need to purchase nests, they are very good nest builders, the male does all the building

Answer 4

The nest you have is a good one .Just add some nesting hair.

Answer 5

Frankly, I find Zebra finches don't care much. I had a couple lay an egg in their food dish on their seed. With Zebras, if they want to lay an egg, they'll do it :D

Answer 6

It depends on what your bird prefers. You'll just have to wait and see it it uses the one you bought or not.
