Breeder Boxes for IRN's

[NikkiLS]

What are the correct dimensions? We are getting ready to set our three pairs up and need to make their boxes. Would appreciate any info or pics you guys may have.

there is not a lot of info on IRNS

12" tall, 8" wide, and about 8-10" deep.

Parrots: Indian Ringneck Parakeets, indian ringneck parakeets, egg binding

I know if my 2 ever get a long, or If i get them new mates they get a long with, we're planning on using Metal nest boxes, because both A.C. and Kaycee Chew the heck out of wood, I don't see a wooden nest box lasting them for more then a couple days lol

Thanks It is difficult finding usable info on them I have come accross some different dimensions so I have no idea what to use but I did see that one as well. Then another site suggested using the compartment boxes too

I think the compartment boxes have a small Area Like a small room when they first go into the nest box, then they'd have to climb down into the actual nest box - I think they're made for birds who startle easy so they don't jump in/out and break eggs, kill babies

I would think since they have a long tail though it would need to be fairly wide.

the one we just made for our Conures is 8x8 Square and their tail fits in perfect, I just don't see a IRN'S tail fitting a 8 wide box.
