An open wire nest pan for canaries, hooked onto the cage wire at the height you choose. Canaries build in an open cup rather than an enclosed dome, which is why this shape works for them where a beehive nest suits finches.
The wire construction is the practical advantage over cane or plastic: it can be washed and disinfected properly between broods and reused for years, where a woven nest is effectively a consumable.
It is a frame, not a finished nest. Canaries expect a felt liner in the pan and nesting material to build on top of it — buy both separately, and put the material out where the hen can gather it herself rather than shaping the nest for her.
Features
- Open cup shape — what canaries actually build in
- Wire frame — washes and disinfects properly, unlike woven nests
- Cage hooks — fixes at any height on the wire
- Takes a standard felt liner
Care
Strip, wash and disinfect between broods, and replace the liner each time. Check the hooks are seated firmly before the hen starts building.
