How to Build Your Own Nest Box

While you will need to adjust the measurements according to the species you are building for, you can easily build your own nest box for your birds by following these simple instructions from your Guide to Birding and Wild Birds, William Webb. While most wild birds have slightly different nesting habits from most pet bird species, this basic nest box design will work for many of our feathered friends, including Finches, Parakeets, Lovebirds, and Cockatiels. Give it a try, and see how your birds like it. Chances are that they'll squawk for joy!
