hi

bought some namaquas from the young sale
dont' really do anything
the mast they've done ids try to steal the fishing line from the bird trap
put a few twigs in for them but the rfpf got to them first

If you want them to breed give them a large canary cup nest and line with twigs and dry grass as they clumsy at making nests

did that but the other birds stole the material

Obviously you need to do it again, and maybe again. Until everyone has sufficent nesting material and no stealing takes place.
That reminds me time to go add some more nesting material to my avairys. I do it every day during the breeding season till it stops being used.

When breeding doves in mixed aviary to stop other birds pinching nest material...I used a canary nest and cut up coconut hanging basket liners so it sat in the nest in one piece..
