Natural Shape Coir Bird Nest

This nest is a deep, open bowl of thick coconut coir, shaped like the cup nests that red-vented bulbuls, magpie robins and many other small birds build in shrubs and trees. There is no roof or entrance hole; birds simply step in from above. You can set it on a balcony ledge, a shelf, a window grill or in the fork of a tree, ideally somewhere shaded and sheltered from rain. The soft, fibrous walls give birds a good base to add their own twigs, grass and feathers. It suits small garden birds like sparrows, bulbuls and magpie robins. Tuck it among the leaves of a large potted plant or a garden shrub, where it looks just like part of the greenery.
