Nesting Material Box

Giving this a chance ...

Posted by K C on Jun 11th 2025

Despite the mixed reviews, I'm ordering this nesting material holder. I will use clear contact paper to cover it to hopefully get far more use of it than many have experienced. The method I currently use is to attempt to roll and loop old/used coconut coir liner material to a long S hook, which usually falls off or droops down until it falls. Before I started doing that, birds destroyed my fresh new liners in the hanging baskets; at least now they do far less damage to the basket liners (blue jays are the worst offenders). I'm guessing this may function better for longer. If it works as I'm hoping, I'll give it a higher rating.

They are fine. I didn't need the included nesting material because I'm using my dogs' and cat's shedded fur. In past years I've snagged the fur in trees and bushes. I thought this might work better. I imagine they'd be easy to make. If you need the nesting material they are worth buying.

Nesting material box

I read the other reviews and was a bit apprehensive about the purchase but bought it anyway. The company should use stronger paper because it kept falling apart while I was trying to put it together and there certainly is not enough fur to fill the box. Disappointed.

cute idea

I purchased the nesting material box to help attract birds. The box itself is cardboard with string attached. You are not given instructions on how to gather the edges so you rely on the picture. The nesting material is very soft as I have never felt Alpaca wool before. I put out in March. We have had lots of rain, wind and the cardboard gets soaked and wool wet. The cardboard has stayed intact and wool dries. I haven't seen any birds removing the wool, but it is less every week. I occasionally go out and pull the strands through the holes to help the birds remove. I still have plenty of wool(5-6 weeks of use).

Disappointing

This nesting material box is flimsy and a bit tricky to put together. Only a little nesting material is included, so I rounded it out with cat fur and dryer lint. I would not buy this again.

The birds love it! Easy to put together (kids can do it)-and just watch the birds go get it!
