Having just completed a major construction project (my husband
actually did all the work) of building a nesting box for my
two "rather active" peach-faced lovebirds, I was wondering if anyone
could provide advice as to the best way to attach the box to the
cage. I'd like to minimize the damage to the cage so I'm wondering
if anyone could provide advice as to the best way to attach the
cage. If we remove a portion of the bars (four of them) is there
any way to reclose the bars after the box is taken off?
How can we minimize the risk associated with the sharp ends of the
bars?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Is this a welded wire cage?
if it is the best way so far for me has been to attach 2 cup hooks
to the top, place the box so that the nest hole lines up with the hole
cut into the cage. I line the hole with plastic edgeing, but I do
not have birds that eat plastic so you may try some metal flashing
around the edge. also I set up a door with cage clips that can
be closed and wired shut.

Hi MRS. B,
Note 789 talks about an auction this Saturday, where you can probably
pick up a next box for around $4-6. Also I beleive my club is having an
auction next Wednesday, I will post the detail tomorrow.
If you can't make these Auctions or are set on having your father in
law build it, I could loan you the one I have to have him copy. Drop me
a Email note if you want to borrow it.
