So I just had an idea after finding a nest starting in my quail room from either my Phoenix, Cemani or both.
Does anyone know if a type of foxhole would encourage them to nest there instead? My birds always start nests, but most end up pillaged by animals before they start to brood (or during even).
My thought would be to build a box out of wire with one side open and threat vines (the fake craft ones you can buy) through the holes to make it like a hide a hunter would use, but much smaller. That would make a dark, safe looking place to have a nest
Does this sound like it had possibilities? Or a waste of time? Anything I should take into consideration?
