Default A very big nest!

Here is a Quaker building a crazy giant nest though.. yowza!

AvianVideos.com - The Bird Owners Video Community

I can't imagine what Narnia-like world must be inside it!

Very sweet - that's some nest! I haven't seen it before but I have seen some great nest building by Quakers on here & other sites [both as pets & in the 'wild']. Arty/Brokenwing has some cute photos & stories. I think his use straws[?].
It is pretty adorable - makes me want a Quaker.

Oh, wow. I thought I was going to see one in the wild, not in a home. Cool!

That was just amazing!! I hope everyone that has a Quaker offers them the same opportunity to do that. Arty (BrokenWing) showed us pictures of the supplies he gave to one of his Quakers and the nest he built with them. They are so smart!

What an industrious little bird! They put me to shame! I think I will get busy and do something around my nest today!

WOW, that is really amazing! I think it's wonderful that the owners allow him to build his nest, I'm sure it's so enriching and instinctual.
