Prevue Pet Products BPV1150 Canary Twig Birds Nest, 3-Inch

My two budgies love this nest! It doubles as a chew toy and a cozy spot for resting or foraging. Despite nonstop chewing, the material is holding up well, proving it’s pretty well-made. It’s the perfect size for one budgie to get in. Highly recommend this for anyone with small birds looking for a durable and entertaining accessory!

Love the two-tone, and made sturdy. Do Recommend; please do read all description available as to size. Plan to purchase some of the other nest this company sells.

My birds didn’t care for it and tossed it over board lol

I have three male zebra finches. They are brothers, the last of two clutches that hatched in 2009. They like to sit in their food dishes and in order to have room to do so, they throw a lot of seeds out onto the bottom of their cage. I got them some of these nests, thinking to give them an alternate place to sit so they wouldn't make quite such a big mess and waste quite so much food.Well, my birds were terrified of these at first. But that is not such a big deal. They are little birds, after all, and these were NEW THINGS in their cages. They are slowly becoming more accustomed to the presence of these, although they are not sitting in them yet. I'm giving it time.Construction of these is solid. They will hold a fair amount of weight. There are one or two pieces of straw (or whatever they are made of) that stick out but that doesn't detract from the overall performance. I have put some strips of toilet paper in these for nesting material since it is cheap, biodegradable, easily replaceable, and non-hazardous (don't use cotton fluff or string as either of those can wrap around your birds' limbs and cut off circulation).The only thing I am not thrilled about is the means of attachment to the cage. The metal (you can see it in the product image) is kind of stiff and difficult to bend, but you really need to bend it so the nest doesn't tip forward and fall. It would be far easier to do this in a cage without birds in it (so if you are just getting set up, add the nest first). Alternatively, it would be fairly easy to add your own attachment mechanism since you can slip narrow things between the twigs/straw pieces.Overall, though, I'm happy with the purchase. It's only been a few days and I'm sure my birds will come around. I've had pairs of birds (zebra finches or society finches only -- I think I'd go with something a little bigger for a canary or parakeet) in the past raise several chicks in similar nests, so if you are looking for something for that purpose, as long as you make sure it is secure, you should be fine.

This nest is a pain to install and clean but the birds do seem to like it.Designed for canaries, this also works well for a variety of pet finch species. They seem to quite enjoy getting nesting material and filling this basket with it to make it a comfortable nest and perch. In that regard, it is a very good product.However, I found this nest quite annoying to attach the the side of the cage; it required not just looping the cheap metal bars around the cage but also twisting them in (by hand) so that the nest is actually secure enough to hold bird. On top of that, because it must be secured to tightly, it made it difficult to get to and clean out periodically. Really, the whole thing just feel unwieldy in design.While I did ultimately keep it because the birds enjoyed it, I was always on the lookout for a better, open-topped nest.

I got this for my 2 budgies, in the hopes that they would like it. They won't get near the swings I have put out for them. This is only the second day the basket has been out, and they are already sitting on it and nibbling. We are happy🌠

My canary loves the nest! She is sitting on 4 eggs. I wasn't sure of the strength of the nest so I have it low. But my bird loves it.

Kept falling off the cage
