Hormonal trigger?

So I built our Quaker a PVC play stand and attached this sort of hammock toy to it.. he absolutely loves the hammock, he could stay there most of the day. I’m a little hesitant though because I wouldn’t want it to trigger his hormones since it kind of looks like a nest? I don’t have a lot of experience. He’s not DNA’d so he may be a she as well.. any thoughts? He is apparently 4 months old but I’m not sure if I believe that since he is already molting.

Its just a platform. Out in the open in the middle of everything. Not enclosed. Not the kind of nesting site I would choose if I was a bird.

It’s not a problem until it’s a problem. Still a youngster.

That looks like a lovely playstand! :swoon:

I had a trapeze swing like that for my female Quaker and I dont think it triggered any abnormal hormones for her.
