Many people probably wonder why two parrots of different sexes, living in the same cage, do not reproduce? The answer is very simple - they need a nest. It is this that serves as a signal for reproduction. You can, of course, buy it at a pet store, but you can do it yourself. Let's find out how.
It is necessary
- - board 16 cm wide;
- - board 20 cm wide;
- - self-tapping screws - 20 pcs;
- - 2-3 trimming the board;
- - hacksaw;
- - drill;
- - jigsaw;
- - a hammer.
Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to draw on the boards all the necessary elements for building a nest for budgies. On the one that is 20 centimeters, we draw the bottom, cover, front and back walls. On the second board there is a mounting strip, side panels and a bushing for the lid. The most suitable height for all sides of the nest is 30 centimeters.
Step 2
Then you need to cut out all the drawn parts with a hacksaw. This business is, of course, painstaking, but useful.
Step 3
Now you need to cut a hole in the front wall of the future nest. This will be the entrance. Note that it should be done 5 centimeters from the top edge of the board.
Step 4
It remains only with the help of a drill to drill holes for self-tapping screws one centimeter from the edge of the elements, and their diameter should not exceed 4 millimeters.
Step 5
We collect all the details. Budget parrot nest is ready! As you can see, it's pretty easy to do. By the way, this is a good idea of earning money - their eggs are bought by pet stores.
