Selfmade Nestbox


Gambar di atas ialah selfmade Nestbox sesuai untuk budgie, luvbird dan juga cockatiels breeding.
Dalam kes ni, semestinya untuk budgie lah. Walaupun kos untuk sebuah Nestbox ni bukanlah murah sangat, apa yang penting ialah kepuasan untuk menyiapkan projek D.I.Y.

Nestbox ini bersaiz 8" x 8" x 8" plywood 12mm. Rasanya dah cukup besar untuk budgie breed.
Ada sesetengah petshop pun ade menjual Nestbox ni dgn harga yang lebih murah, tetapi nestbox nyer lebih kecillah.
Itulah antara kelebihan kalau kita buat sendiri dan lihat sendiri hasilnya. Saya pun bukannya pandai sangat nak bertukang nih, ikut ajer perlahan-perlahan instruction dalam gambar kat laman web.

Berdasarkan pembacaan saya daripada blog2 dan forum2, penggunaan nestbox lebih banyak menghasilkan anak budgie yg survive. Sebagai contoh, kalau dalam tempurung kelapa survival anak average dalam 3 ekor sahaja.
Nestbox pula membantu survival bilangan anak budgie yang lebih tinggi disebabkan ruang dalam yang lebih luas.

Di sini, saya listkan secara terperinci material dan kos untuk tujuan rekod.
Semoga dapat memberi idea kepada viewer untuk estimate budget nestbox.
1. Plywood 12mm 1'x5' = RM15.00
2. Upah potong ikut saiz 8"x8" = RM5.00 (Dapatlah lebih papan dalam 1kaki)
3. Paku kecil 1.5"panjang = RM2.00
4. Ensel pintu x 2 nos = RM2.40
5. Penutup pintu = RM0.50
6. Bolt, nut dan washer x2set = RM2.00 Boltsize12
7. Perch = RM0.00 sebab saya guna hanger stand yg dah patah :)
Maka Total Principle Cost = RM26.90

Additional cost for future use (investment)
1. Plywood saw = RM 8.00
2. Mata drill lubang = RM 15.00 (variable of sizes) untuk ni guna 50mm -5cm as advised and recommended by most Otai.
3. Pengikis lubang = RM 7.00

Itu sahaja buat masa ni. Memang betullah klu plywood yang nipis mmg susah nak paku..12mm ni pun terkadang terkeluar dari sasaran.
Next nestbox nak cuba tebal plywood 9mm pula.
Ok..that's all.

The above picture is a selfmade Nestbox which is suitable for budgie, lovebird and cockatiels breeding purposes.
In this case, of course for my budgie. Even though the cost for a Nestbox is not really cheap, but to me the most important is satisfaction to complete a D.I.Y project.

My nest-box size is about 8” x 8” x 8” plywood 12mm thickness. I think that size is big enough for budgie breed. Some of local petshop has sell the Nestbox with cheaper price but in term of size, pretty smaller. That’s the advantage if we built ourselves and see the results. I’m not a carpenter, just follow patiently the instruction / pictures in the website.

Based on my readings from blogs and forums, the usage of Nestbox can produce more quantity of budgie survivals. For example using Coconut’s cover is classically method and the survival of baby budgies are 3 nos in average. The Nestbox will help to increase the survival rate due to the bigger space.

I attached herewith the details list of material and cost for record. I hope this input will give ideas to blogger for their budget estimation for a Nestbox;
1. Plywood 12mm 1'x5' = RM15.00
2. Fees to cut size 8”x8”=RM5.00 (Has extra plywood about 1 feet)
3. Small nail 1.5” long=RM2.00
4. Door clip =RM0.50
5. Door closer=RM0.50
6. Bolt, nut dan washer x2set = RM2.00 Boltsize12
7. Perch = RM0.00 because I used my hanger stand already broken :)
Hence, Total Principle Cost = RM26.90

Additional cost for future use (investment)
1. Plywood saw = RM 8.00
2. Drill part for hole = RM 15.00 (variable of sizes) I’m using 50mm -5cm as advised and recommended by most Breeder
3. Hole cleaner = RM 7.00

That’s it. It’s true if the thicker plywood harder to punch nail. This 12mm sometimes I had miss out the target. Next nestbox will try the plywood 9mm.
Ok..that's all. Best regards,
