Hi there i know this may sound like a silly question but could you please tell me what a night box should be like and what should a next box be like we have just got two kakarikis a green one and a yellow one they are in a small avairy 6ft by 6ft by 3ft we have two boxes in there one slightly smaller than the other one is about 2ft square and the other about 12inches square the bigger one has a large round hole the other a oval shaped hole are these night boxes or do the birds think there nest boxes as we dont want to breed we dont know what sex they are thanks for your help
i keep mine in a cage, from experience if you put a box in they will breed, mine have just had two chicks others on this site who have avairys will probably give better advice. You say you don't know what sex they are the male has a bigger beak and head than the female if you look in the forums to the left other members have put pictures of there birds on the site you will see what i mean from there. I am a bit confused you say one is green and one is yellow did you buy these as a pair or just pick the two colours as there are different species and mutations in kakarikis.
The only silly question is the one that isnt asked

If u have a nest box, the kakariki will sleep in it,
If u have a night box, the kakariki will sleep in it
The nest box is the one that they decide to nest in...
Labeling the boxes doesnt help either, kakariki are independant by nature, and stubborn and will not take any notice of the signs.
Little more Seriously...Throw a couple inches of untreated wood shavings in both _________________ My Spelling is Not Incorrect...It's 'Creative'

Hi there thanks for the replys we just bought the two that we liked so now I'm even more worried if there different and they breed is that going to be bad can i not just take away eggs .who thought getting a avairy with just two birds could be such a worry
