hi, I have had on occasions fires, crimsons, cutthroats, longtails, diggles, parsons and masks use nest boxes or plastic flower pots. While my w/e masks are not interested in boxes? The majority prefer dry brush or growing grasses.

My gouldians have used this style of box, I haven't had much success. |More to do with first timers
I think. My zebras have used this style of box although more in a woven basket.
I also have a pair of stars fussing about another box like this, although they
have'nt actually done anything they are making actions.
