Aviary accessories for buttons?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I have two male buttons and three females, and I'm looking for ideas about aviary accessories for them, such as little 'houses' or something. I have a small cardboard box that I cut a door into, and one of my girls seems to have taken a liking to it; but I would like them to have something more sturdy. What does everyone recommend?

You can buy coconut huts check the reptile and bird area at the pet stores or I use soda boxes cut to size mostly because they are cheap and you can recycle them when they get dirty. I also have a oatmeal tube that I took the bottom off they use as a tunnel and love to sleep behind it. I use fake plants so I can wash them when ever and I don't have to worry that the birds will get sick if they eat the wrong plant. I use a 8 inch cake pan for a sand bath that I just leave in the cage and clean every week and add more sand, they love to make a big mess with this. I also heard that they like to play with straw or grass plus will even eat some bluegrass cuttings. mine keep busy eating and mating and laying eggs but I would love to have an area with a upstairs for them to get up a bit higher to see around better ah well they act like they are happy. I just have one pair. be careful with them all in the same cage watch for fighting you may want to separate them into pairs. imo
