nesting box help

[gottaluvmacaw]

my amazons are breeding!!!
they have been together for years and have never bothered, now at 7 and 6 yrs old they have just decided to give it a shot
I need to know where to buy or how to build a nesting box... any advice?
and for anyone who wishes to comment,,,,, I know how to deal with newborn hatchlings, but advice is always good, just figured I'd bypass the negative comments

I have no idea but I thought you just go to a hardware and build a box they will fit in - if you want them to breed. good luck - I hear they sound like chickens when they are mating and loud. I couldn't handle that.

Make it big enough for 6-8 adult birds, cause chicks are full grown before they venture out. make it mount on the outside of the cage using a feeding door for an intrance. have the top open up for access. have fun.
