great pics.
for some reason my goulds until this year would always choose a wicker nest over the box, every time. now though they only want to use the big ones I make using pea straw. oh well so long as they breed I cant complain

Funny that mine have always had a choice of brush or box.and in 11 years of breeding them,I have only had them breed in tea tree acouple of times.
