ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a breeding box that temporizes aggression of strong beaked exotic birds. In one aspect, the assembled box comprises a Tee-shaped central section having a pair of parallel arms defining a pair of spaced apart anteroom regions each connected by an opening to flight cage. Connected to the pair of parallel arms is a nesting arm for the female normal to the pair of arms and positioned below the latter. At the junction of three arms is a Tee-shaped baffle having a planar and a vertical element that limits direct passage of the male from parallel arm to parallel arm (bypassing the nesting arm), as when the female is escaping from the nest. That is, the vertical element forms a solid wall defining a vertical plane intersecting the nesting arm, while the parallel element limits passage height for the male that only permits him to crawl down into the nesting arm with his head exposed via a ladder. In addition, the planar element is long enough of overhang the anteroom regions to provide reduced crawl space that also limits the speed that the male can tranverse the same. Thus when the male first enters the breeding box via one of the openings to the anteroom region, the female has ample time to escape via the unoccupied anteroom region and then through the opening to the flight cage. A method of use is also described.
