How high should i put my lovebirds nest boxes in my aviary plz help

Question

what height off the ground should i put the nest boxes

Answer 1

Depending on the hight of your Aviary ,the best height is approx.9.inches from the top of the roof ,this then allows the birds to sit on top of the box.

I have done this for many years and bred alot of Love Birds of various species,put about 3,ins,of peat in the nest box and have a good supply of Apple Pear, or willow twigs in the aviary as Lovebirds like to strip these and carry the bark into their nest.

Happy breeding.

Answer 2

If possible six to eight feet.

Hi,

They need to be as high as possible as if they are too low then the birds won't feel safe in them and so won't use them. They need to be all the same height otherwise the birds will fight over the higher boxes.

Hello.

In the aviary , you should put the nest above your eye's level ...not too high , because the babies would fall of and hurt themseves when they learn to fly or get out of nest first time . Putting them above your eye 's level is high enough for them to feel safe , and for you to check the nest box easily . I know this fact, because I have 3 aviaries in the my back yard myself , plus a bird room full of birds. TM.
