Question
Hi! I was just wondering whats the best way to introduse my budgies to their new nesting box. I hope you can help! Thanx, Nettie

Answer
Hi, Nettie,

I'm sorry for responding late to your question(s).  I was hospitalized and trying to catch up.

The nesting box should be affixed to the outside of your budgies cage so that the entrance hole is the only access inside their cage.  Hence, your budgies will have direct access to the nesting box.  They'll start checking it out once it's up.

Expertise

I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.

Experience

Over 20 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.
