About
breeding preparations...
It is vital
to offer a choice of nesting sites to pairs that have not
nested before, so they can choose the locality that suits
them best.
If the nesting
options are unsuitable, a pair is simple unlikely to show
any interest in breeding. This also applies in a mixed collection,
where there may be too much disturbance from the other occupants
to encourage a pair to nest.
Breeding
results are unusually better if compatible pairs are housed
alone, or in colonies comprised of a single species in the
case of finches such as nuns.

Cage Bird. Question and Answer Manual" by David Alderton
