You can purchase premade nests from most retailers, and also on the internet. Some are boxes made out of wood while others are more like circular baskets, made of natural materials hand woven. They are popular because they look like they do in the wild.

You can get nests which go on the inside of the cage but to save space get one that attaches to the outside and where the top can be opened.

They are originally tropical birds so you might consider a 'finch nest box'. It is wooden with a hole on one side which allows enough air in but keeps the adults and young finches warm at night.
