Re: breeder boxes
Posted by Connie on 5/01/07

First of all, there is no cage that is too big for a conure
or any bird. They love space. If you are limited, that's
another thing, huh? Most of us are, so join the club. I have
my breeder conures in cages that are: 36" long, 24" tall and
20" deep (front to back). That's just for 1 pair. I have
more cages exactly the same size, putting 1 pair in each.
That's all the room I have. Other people will tell you what
they have and we will all probably have different sizes,
depending on how much room we have. Make sure there is no
zinc (shiny metal) in the wire. Galvanized is ok. I hope
this helps.

The nesting boxes should be about: 13" wide, 12" tall and
18" deep (front to back) with a 13-14" slide to check the
eggs and get the babies. The entrance hole should be 3" in
diameter. If they want it any bigger, they will make it that
way themselves. I can send you a photo if you want. Lots of
luck, Connie
