Metal Canary Nest 120mm (Large) – Wire Nest Pan with Cage Hooks

A Large Wire Nest Pan for Breeding Canaries

This large metal canary nest is a 120mm wire nest pan made for breeding canaries and similar small birds. It comes with hooks that clip straight onto the cage or aviary wire, giving your hen a stable, secure base to build and brood in. Simple, sturdy and easy to keep clean, it is a reliable single nest for anyone setting a pair up for the breeding season.

Airy Wire Build That Stays Dry

The open wire construction lets air move around and under the nest, helping it stay dry and reducing the damp conditions that can cause trouble while a hen is brooding. Because it is metal rather than timber, it is also quick to wash and disinfect, so you can keep the nest hygienic between broods and ready for the next clutch.

Hooks On with No Extra Hardware

The attached hooks hang the nest over the cage or aviary wire, so there is nothing extra to fit. It sits in a stable position slightly off the floor, which keeps it cleaner and gives the hen a settled, undisturbed spot. Place it in a quiet corner of the cage away from the feed and water so the pair feels secure.

Line It to Suit Your Birds

The wire pan gives you a strong base and lets your birds finish the job. You can add a felt or cotton nest liner, which helps hens that are not natural builders, or let the birds line the pan themselves with natural material such as swamp grass or coconut fibre. Either way, the pan holds the nest in shape and keeps the eggs snug and secure.

How to Use

Hang the nest pan on the cage or aviary wire using the attached hooks, placing it in a quiet part of the cage away from feed and water. If you are using a nest liner, sit it inside the pan; otherwise, offer nesting material such as swamp grass or coconut fibre nearby so the hen can line the pan herself. Check on the nest during the breeding season without disturbing the pair too often. Between broods, remove the old nest, then wash and disinfect the pan and let it dry before using it again.
