scruffy little fellas them orange breasts.
emblema nest looks different to what I am used to seeing, mine fill the nest with sticks and lumps of anything they can carry.
then add a few feathers for lining

Its the bigger version of the two nests available. I lined it with coconut fibre and swamp grass when I put it up, they added a few bits of bark and some feathers and started laying.

my emblemas have the messiest nest around , everything pushed to the back and a little rock garden of charcoal , corn nibs and who knows what else.

looks like that little fella is enjoying his first sun bake. Who's looking at who.

The little guys spent their first night outdoors in an abandoned canary nest, I had left it as it was too close to their nest and I didnt want to spook them, thank goodness I left it there as it was a bit cold and windy last night.

Congratulations. Hope my O/B's and Painteds who are both being attentive to each other will choose a nest and get on with it soon.

Have had pair Orange-Breasted waxbills for 2 years now keep making nests but nothing ever happens. My pair of Painted Finches have only had for 7 months and have just hatch their 3rd lot of babies. Love your little waxbill babies I wish I knew the secret ;)
