4 Tips On Creating a Bird's Nest For Your Pet Finches

Why do you need to create a finches nest for your
birds?

The goal here is to reduce the stress of your
pet. The goal is to design a comfortable
environment for them where they can feel safe.
Finches would not reproduce no matter how you
pair them up if the finches nest is not
suitable. And even if you're successful in
breeding, the eggs can get destroyed if you do
not have the right elements for the finches
nest. Creating the right finches nest is
essential not only in breeding, but in the
overall health of your pet finches.

What should be the location of the finches nest?
When you have an aviary, you must build the nest
under the roof or the sheltered portion that's
not exposed to harsh weather. Remember, the goal
is to provide them with an environment they will
be comfortable in. Hence, the finches nest
should protect them from cold winds, rain and
direct sunlight, as this can affect the health
of your pet and their off-springs.

Some types of finches would prefer the finches
nest to slightly touch the cage's roof. If you
choose to do this, just make sure that you would
still have a chance to observe what is going on
the roosting nest. More importantly, make sure
it's not too warm or too cold for them. You also
need to protect the nest from getting damp or
west, as the eggs need to be kept warm.

Important Things to Keep in Mind about the
Finches Nest during the Breeding Process Once a
young bird leaves the nest prematurely, do not
attempt to place them back on the nest together
with the other off-springs, as this will cause a
disruption in the remaining birds. Doing this may
also entice the other finches to follow suit and
leave their nest prematurely.

Instead of placing them back on the finches
nest, place them where they can still be fed by
their parents during the day. The ideal
temporary nest should be safe and warm. After
that, you can return the bird to the finches
nest the next day.

Survival of the Fittest as Seen on a Finches
Nest

This will not totally ensure the premature
bird's survival but you need to do this in order
to give the young one a chance at survival. Any
offspring that jumps out of the finches nest
before the right time should be checked for any
physical injuries. They should also be observed
for any physical or behavioral problems. In the
unlikely case that this happens, they have to be
euthanized or properly identified with a marking.
Marking the said bird will help you identify it
and prevent it from mating, thus stopping the
genetic abnormality. Remember that finches with
behavioral problems might actually push out some
of the other birds too.

If you don't know where to find a finches nest,
you can try providing them with nesting materials
like shrubs, leaves, assorted grasses and
feathers. They can use these materials to make a
comfortable finches nest of their own. Make sure
that the leaves or grass that you will provide
is dry and fertilizer free to prevent any
poisoning problems.
