My original male zeb has decided to build his mate a nest in one of the feed containers!!

This is addition to the original 2 that he built, they take turns in sleeping them!!

This is the cage they are all (4pr) in

Mind you with a nutty owner its not surprising I suppose :lol: :crazy:

I have a few that try and build a nest in their shellgrit containers, and some daft hens who lay eggs in their food bowls or shellgrit etc even if the male has built a lovely nest in the nestbox. They give up eventually!

Rofl @ Niki

I am surprised my zebs haven't tried nesting in the bigger seed container on the left of the cage, its bigger and covered!! :D
Will be interesting to see which nest the females choose !!

Good grief!!

I put another feed container in (on the upper left of pic) 2 days ago (with some aniseed tonic in it which my zebs have demolished, :roll: ) and the zebs that were making a nest in the one on the right of pic, have decided the 2nd container is a much better option and have transferred the nest to it!!!

With all this nesting I hope I get some babies out of all this :lol:
