Welcome to BYC!

If you have bedding in your pen, cage or aviary, yes the females will make nests out of the bedding. These nests can be small bowl shaped or elaborate tall nests, depending on the type of bedding you use. Grass hay works great for intricate nest making. Seems like my birds got better and making nests as they aged.

Depending on where you live, springtime is when the nest building starts and will continue through to fall.
 
Well I've just moved them into a chicken coop on there own as I had them a avary with button quails and they were attacking the buttons so I've just got them there own home hopefully I can get them to breed soon thank for your help
