How to use

Place the wicker nest in a quiet, elevated spot inside the cage, preferably in a corner or area where your bird feels safe. Secure it firmly to the bars using the included bracket. If using it for breeding, introduce it when you observe the female showing interest in nesting. For daily roosting, you can leave it in place year-round. We recommend checking it periodically and cleaning it with a damp cloth if necessary; do not use harsh chemicals. If your bird doesn't use it at first, give it time: some birds need a few days to get used to it.

Indicated for

This nest box is suitable for small birds such as budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), canaries (Serinus canaria), zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), and other similarly sized species. It is not suitable for medium or large parrots, nor for rodents, as they could easily break the wicker.

FAQ

How do I clean the Ferplast wicker nest?

Clean it with a slightly damp cloth and warm water. Avoid submerging it completely, as this could warp the wicker. Air dry it before placing it back in the cage. If there are any stubborn stains, use a soft brush.

Can I use it all year round or only during breeding season?

How long does a Ferplast wicker nest last?
