Is the budgerigar breeding box horizontal or vertical? Tell me why. Thank you.

Whether the budgerigar breeding box is horizontal or vertical is controversial, but it actually depends on your specific needs and preferences. The following are some comparisons about the advantages and disadvantages of horizontal nesting and vertical nesting:

1. Hengwo:

Advantages: the horizontal nest is relatively cheap, which is convenient for observing the breeding process of budgerigar. The mother bird lays eggs on the right side of the opening to hatch her young, which is convenient for people to observe. At the same time, because the opening of the transverse nest is on the same horizontal line, it is relatively convenient for female birds to enter and leave the breeding box without too much interference.

Disadvantages: When opening the upper hatch to check the cub's condition, it may frighten the mother bird and cause the mother bird to fly away. In addition, it may affect cleaning and need to be completely removed for cleaning.

2. Vertical nesting:

Advantages: The vertical breeding box can try to avoid the problem of scaring the mother bird and causing it to fly away because of watching the cub. Its entrance and exit are in a vertical line with the spawning position, and the mother bird lays eggs and hatches her cubs under the opening, which is beneficial to avoid human interference.

Disadvantages: the price may be more expensive than the horizontal nest, and the cleaning will also be affected, which needs to be completely dismantled and cleaned.

3. Vertical culture box with drawer:

Advantages: This incubator adds a drawer design on the basis of the vertical incubator, which can not only avoid the problem that the mother bird flies away because the baby is frightened, but also facilitate cleaning.

Disadvantages: The price is usually more expensive than other types of breeding boxes.

To sum up, horizontal nest and vertical nest have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which kind of breeding box to choose mainly depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you want to observe the breeding process more conveniently and have a limited budget, then the horizontal nest may be more suitable for you; If you pay more attention to avoid disturbing the mother bird and want to keep it clean, then a vertical incubator may be more suitable. Of course, if you have enough budget, you can also consider choosing a vertical culture box with drawer design, which can not only meet the needs of protecting the mother bird, but also facilitate cleaning.
