Parrot Nesting Bowl Nestor model 00494 – Medium egg-shaped nest for parrots

Nestor parrot nesting bowl model 00494 is a medium, egg-shaped nest designed to provide a sheltered resting and breeding space for parrots and similar cage birds. The compact form and smooth inner surface create a secure micro-environment that helps birds settle for roosting or incubation. The nest is intended for use in home cages and aviaries where a stable, space-efficient nesting solution is required.

Advantages

The egg-shaped geometry encourages natural nesting behaviour while the medium interior volume accommodates a range of medium-sized parrot species. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for cages and aviary compartments where space is limited. The simple design allows for easy cleaning and inspection, and the stable mounting reduces the risk of movement that could disturb nesting birds.

• Breeding and incubation in home aviaries
• Providing a sheltered roosting spot in cages and flight cages
• Temporary nesting solution during transport or quarantine

How to use
