Provide your cockatiel with a safe, comfortable nesting environment using this 12-inch Nest Box, expertly designed to meet the natural breeding instincts of medium-sized birds. This thoughtfully constructed nest box offers the privacy and security breeding pairs need while allowing easy access for monitoring and maintenance. Whether you're an experienced breeder or encouraging natural nesting behavior, this durable nest box creates the ideal sanctuary for egg-laying and chick-rearing.

Recommended for: Medium-sized birds including cockatiels, conures, lovebirds, small parakeets, and similarly-sized species. Perfect for breeding pairs or birds exhibiting nesting behaviors.

Key Features:

  • Sturdy wooden construction provides natural insulation and a secure nesting environment
  • 12-inch size offers optimal space for cockatiel breeding pairs and growing chicks
  • Entrance hole sized appropriately for medium birds while deterring larger species
  • Inspection door or removable top allows for easy cleaning and nest monitoring without disturbing birds
  • Natural wood material encourages instinctive nesting behaviors and provides texture for grip
  • Ventilation design ensures proper air circulation for developing chicks
  • Durable construction withstands chewing and repeated use across multiple breeding seasons
  • Removable or cleanable interior makes maintenance and sanitation simple

Usage Instructions: Mount the nest box securely to the inside or outside of the cage at a height that provides privacy, typically in an upper corner away from perches and feeding areas. Ensure the box is stable and level. Add appropriate nesting material such as pine shavings, shredded paper, or coconut fiber to the bottom. Position the entrance hole facing away from direct traffic to minimize stress. Check periodically for cleanliness, but avoid excessive disturbance once eggs are laid. After each breeding cycle, thoroughly clean and disinfect the box before reuse.

Dimensions: 12 inches (suitable depth and width for cockatiel breeding pairs), providing ample space for nesting activities while maintaining the cozy environment birds prefer for successful breeding.
