Do diamond doves prefer nesting in the highest possible location? or are they not fussed about where the nest is. (without using multiple nests).

They are in a cage at the moment because the budgies are in the aviary that i'm putting them in, so for now to many nests would be a bit crowded. They will be in the aviary in about 2 weeks.spanna wrote:No matter the species, every bird should have a choice of nest sites.Finch_Breeder wrote:without using multiple nests

My experience was that they do prefer platforms or pans at mid-level in the aviary which makes checking easy. Mine or rather I preferred to start off the lining as they make very flimsy nests and if they are allowed to do their own thing then about 50% of the time it will end in tragedy which wasn't always a bad thing as they are so prolific and the market is limited.
