Metal Canary Nest 120mm (Large) – Wire Nest Pan with Hooks, Set of 3

A Set of Three Wire Nest Pans for Breeding Canaries

This is a set of three large metal canary nests, each a 120mm wire nest pan built for breeding canaries and similar small birds. Every nest comes with hooks so it clips straight onto the cage or aviary wire, giving your hens a secure, stable base to build in. The open wire design and the value of a three-pack make this a practical pick for canary breeders getting set up for the season.

Open Wire Design for a Clean, Airy Nest

The wire mesh construction lets air move freely around and under the nest, which helps keep it dry and reduces the damp, stuffy conditions that can cause problems during brooding. Metal is also far easier to wash and disinfect than timber or solid nests, so you can keep each pan clean and hygienic between broods, which matters when you are breeding pair after pair.

Clips Straight onto the Cage

Each nest has attached hooks that hang over the cage or aviary wire, so there is no extra hardware to fit. It holds the nest in a stable, slightly elevated position off the floor, keeping it cleaner and giving the hen a settled spot to lay and brood. Position it in a quiet corner of the cage, away from the feed and water, so the pair feels undisturbed.

Use with a Liner or Natural Nesting Material

A bare wire pan gives you a strong base, and your birds do the rest. You can drop in a felt or cotton nest liner, which is handy for hens that are not the best builders, or let your birds line the pan themselves with natural nesting material such as swamp grass or coconut fibre. Either way, the pan holds the nest in shape and keeps the clutch secure.

How to Use

Hang each nest pan on the cage or aviary wire using the attached hooks, 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 reusing it.
