budgielover156 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 hi, thanks for the reply B.Jthe cage is wire all around with the nesting box at the bottom so it would be pretty easy for the wind to get through, i got a inverted water and feeder tube in both cages. i jst want to point out that when i brang them home they wouldnt go into their nesting box inside the house, as soon as i put them outisde they went into the nesting box so what should i do? wait until the babies hatch? although im scared the cold will kill the babies before i even get a chance to put them inside, it is a bit of a tricky situtation any advice??

Neville 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The temperatures you get in Melbourne are similar to the ones we get here and my birds are breeding in outside cages. They need protection from the wind but otherwise manage the lower temperatures well Link to post Share on other sites
