ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a breeding box that temporizes aggression of strong beaked exotic birds. In one aspect, the assembled box comprises (i) a central section having a pair of arms defining non-parallel axes of symmetry and a nesting arm extending from the pair of arms. The pair of arms in association with the nesting arm define a junction point between them. Each of the pair of arms also includes a normally open external passageway to permit external entry and egress of birds relative to the central section. The assembled box also includes (ii) a baffle positioned adjacent to the junction point of the arms. The baffle is in attaching contact with the central section whereby direct passage between the pair of arms bypassing the nesting arm is prevented, and wherein a sitting female within the nesting arm is provided with an escape option whereby male aggression can be temporized without disruption of the breeding cycle. Note that the passageway defined within the pair of arms is adjacent to anteroom regions connected to a flight cage; that the nesting arm provides the nest for the female; and that the purpose of the baffle is to limit direct passage of the male from one of the pair of arms to the other (bypassing the nesting arm), as when the female is escaping from the nest. A method of assembly is also described.
