Prevue Nesting Material, 1 Pack, 103

Nice nesting material for my little finches.

I took the advice of other buyers and cut the strings down to about an inch and then put them back in the box. My pair loved it and used the entire box. Three eggs and now three healthy babies. Would definately recommend this.

This fiber is perfect for my finches to use to make nets. I found it to be safe none of my birds have ever got it wrapped around their feet.

The first photo are of George and Gracie, the second are Ricky and Lucy. Each egg laying pair have their own large flight cage. I just bought George and Gracie a new flight cage, because both pairs have started nesting for the first time.I'm new to nesting birds, so I've done a lot of research on their needs. I've even included hair from our home, COVID-19 haircuts (very popular with both sets of finches) and dryer lint (you read it right). The clean lint proved to be extremely popular with both sets too. I've also offered coconut fiber (popular), and sphagnum moss (not so much. Left it sitting).I thought I'd offer one more thing. I bought 3 boxes. When I offer nesting material, I offer very small amounts. I don't want them over building. I also pick everything apart, and cut things short. I don't want any tragic accidents, like feet getting tangled.I cut the threads into 1/2 lengths. Out of the box, they're about 2 long. I just grabbed a bunch and cut a bunch at once, to this approximate length. I offered it to each pair and it wasn't 5 minutes before all of the birds were carrying the thread to their nests. It was hilarious. They looked like they'd grown fuzzy beards!George and Gracie have 5 eggs. Ricky and Lucy have 3 so far. Gracie also had fun throwing the threads around, playing, at first.I've only used 1/2 of a box so far. I'm sure both pairs would use all of the thread offered. I highly recommend cutting it first though.
