I have 18 Northern bobwhites. Right now it is mating season for them and had to seperate all the males because of fighting. In one cage I have a male and a female (Who have mated and laid an egg) who built a nest yesterday. And the nest really does look like how they are supposed to in the wild, but in the afternoon yesterday they stopped building it and walked over it. Now it is just a pile of hay and grass. They did the same thing today also, they started rebuilding it in the morning and they ruined it again this afternoon. Does anybody know what they are doing and why?
