What if your rabbit is to have babies in 1 day is it normal for her to just sit in the corner in her nest?
Your doe is more than likely NOT going to have babies. Is she using her nest box for a potty?? That is a sure sign she is not pregnant, either that or you put her nest box in her potty corner and her cage is too small for her to establish another potty area. Usually after a doe makes her nest she does not set in it until the babies are born. Did you put the nest in too early??? That is another reason she might set in it. A nest box should not be put in with your doe until 3 days before she is due.

How do you make a birds nest?
You don't "build a nest" persay... you get a nesting box. You install the nesting box in the far corner of the cage (safer there) and let the parrots work their magic. You can get the boxes at any good Pet Store, and don't forget to put something soft for bedding (also available at said Pet Store). If you don't know what to do exactly, DON'T GET THE BOX. Raising baby parrots is a tough, demanding job. If you don't know what you're doing, stay away from it.
What is a nest box?
A nestbox (either homemade or bought) is a wooden box with a circular hole just big enough to admit small birds, or may be open fronted for larger birds such as owls, etc. The nestbox can be fixed high in a tree or on the side of a house. The aim is to give a nesting box that a mated pair of birds can lay and raise their young.
Do parakeets need a nest?
Parakeets need a nest box but not a "nest" in the traditional sense. A typical Parakeet nest box measures about 10" by 10" by 10" with a hole in the front (like a bird house) and a back where you can remove the top half to check the chicks and clean it out. In the bottom of the box, you place a wooden insert the same size as the box with a concave cut-out in the center (makes a shallow dish so the eggs stay in one place). You hang the box on the outside of the cage with the hole and a dowel (for perching) mated and secured up against a seed cup hole. No nesting material is used at all and the birds like it that way.
