Nesting Boxes are essential for creating a safe, warm, protected space for your birds to breed in. They need to be the right size so the babies can’t fall out of the nest or leave early. Click here for more detailed information on Bird Breeding Boxes.

Another essential aspect of breeding is the nesting material. The material required depends on the type of bird. For smaller birds like canaries and finches, sterilised feathers are perfect. It is recommended that more giant birds use a nesting material specially made for parrots, usually consisting of tree shavings and moist peat.

It is imperative to focus on the health and diet of your birds when they are trying to breed and when they are looking after their newly hatched chicks. The most important supplements to provide are:

– Avian Sunglo, a Vitamin D3 & Calcium supplement which is very important for producing eggshells & developing the baby birds

– Avian Protein Bits, a high protein, low-fat feed supplement that is healthy for the parents to have year-round, but is especially important after the babies have hatched, as the parents will feed a lot of this to the babies, allowing them to grow strong and healthy.
