It is a neat idea but I would not do that for a few reasons because I believe in nest bowls and they are cheap enough and can be washed clean--I would put the nest bowls on top of the wire and raise the wire with a tray underneath so that you can get the droppings out when you clean without bothering the nest bowl at an early age. My second objection is the straw that you are using---this promotes breathing difficulties as well as fungus diseases and canker and assorted other things especially in a state like Vermont that is humid--I would use pine sticks or buy tobacco stems or sticks from the different dealers--cheap enough---my third objection is that those milk carton are really breezy on the babies because your loft seems to be open and I would really be afraid if you band your birds of a foot getting stuck in one of those holes and dying--I have had this happen to a baby roller of mine---stuff happens---just my opinions...c.hert

C. Hert thanks for your opinions. I liked using pine needles years ago when I could get them. You may have some thing with your ideas about the straw. One thing I dislike about using straw is , it's hollow and allows parisites to hide so I dust it and that seems to work.

I have seen milk crates in 1 loft before and have to say it was an ugly site. Apart from it looking ugly the lack of room is enough to not use them.
Having said that if you cannot afford anything else then it is better then nothing.
