Posted April 23, 201015 yr hey just put a nest box in my little cage, and i am wondering wether to put perches above the nest box. i have red on another website that it is bad to put perches above the nest box because they think the nestbox is to low and they do not then breed my net box is in one of the doors (it pops out the side of my cage) so my perches are farely low any advise?? anyone?? thanks, hayden :hap: Edited April 23, 201015 yr by hayden
April 23, 201015 yr Your nestbox is inside the cage ? Not ouside with access from inside ? its outside with access
April 24, 201015 yr You want your nestbox as high as possible, and you do not want a situation where a perch can be higher so a bird can sit above and look into the nestbox. It would make the hen feel uncomfortable and thus it is not ideal for breeding purposes. Post a picture of your cage setup so people can see what you are talking about.

April 24, 201015 yr there is a link underneat my signature entitled "how to post pictures" Read that and follow the instructions
April 24, 201015 yr Do you mean access perch to nest box or normal perches inside cage? Birds would still need perch's in cage. Maybe at height of hole in box for closest one to nest box, possibly a bit higher at other end of cage if it's the only option. picture's would help. If you check at start of forum there is a post how to post pictures. Check that out and see how you go.

April 24, 201015 yr Are you trying to post pictures through photobucket? If you've joined it. To add your picture upload your picture at med. I think is right. Make sure you have b.b.c. open, where you want to place picture. like here you would add reply, hit enter get your cursor where you want it. Then make sure you go back to google e.g. then open photobucket also in new window. You must have photobucket and Budgie forum open at the same time. Then choose your picture copy and paste your picture into b.b.c. hope this helps, I had trouble getting it to work as well, young fellows like you are more computer literate than I but I got there in the end. Have another go at it. :emoticon112:

Have another go at it. hi, ive tried again. i went to google and typed in photobucket then i clicked on signup. its free i entered a user-name and a password, i comfirmed my password and clicked on, next step then a thing poped up on the top of my page saying "there was a error with your submission, were sorry. based on the infomation you have submitted to us, you are inelagable to register on photobucket" wat do i do?? :emoticon112:
April 24, 201015 yr your telling them your real age arnt you try saying your 18+so 1986 or lower, im 100% sure thats what it is Edited April 24, 201015 yr by Houman
April 24, 201015 yr Hi Joel, Its preferable to have them higher but with your cage you may not be able to without cutting bars of your cage. I think you should be okay with the way you have set it up. Edited April 24, 201015 yr by KAZ
April 25, 201015 yr photobucket didnt ask for my age though?? any wway do you think i should have my perches lower then i have nesting box?? my nestbox is 24 inches of the ground is 21 inches to low for perches?? Edited April 25, 201015 yr by hayden
April 25, 201015 yr any wway do you think i should have my perches lower then i have nesting box??my nestbox is 24 inches of the ground is 21 inches to low for perches?? I believe I have already answered your question. and besides ......why are you measuring from the ground and not the actual cage ? Its fine as I said.
April 25, 201015 yr It is unfortunate the way the doors are on those cages, but I agree with Kaz, I think it will be okay the way it is.
April 25, 201015 yr hi its hayden, just making sure. so i CAN put perches above my nest box??? thank you all!!!! Edited April 25, 201015 yr by hayden

April 25, 201015 yr we need your photos Hayden........cannot really advise without them so figure it out or get someone in your home to figure it out.
April 25, 201015 yr Hi Hayden, Don't give up on using photo bucket. Try, try, again. Did it let you join? If so that's a start. If not, can't Dad e.g. sign up for it and then you go from there? A bit further down the track you will want to add pics of your new chick's etc won't you? If you can't master photo bucket it won't happen. LET US KNOW WHERE YOUR AT WITH IT, so we can help more.
April 25, 201015 yr it will ask for your age when you are signing up hayden. http://register.photobucket.com/ go there put in the username you want and password *twice* then go next step where it will ask for your name,age,sex ect.
