Round Coir Bird Nest

This nest is woven from coconut coir into a gourd shape: a round, full body at the bottom that narrows into a long neck at the top. A wide entrance sits on the front of the body, opening into a deep chamber where eggs and chicks stay tucked away. The neck ends in a loop, so it hangs easily from a hook, branch or balcony railing. Thick coir walls let air through and give birds a sheltered spot out of the wind and rain. It suits house sparrows, munias and similar small garden birds. Hang it from a leafy branch or under the balcony ceiling, in shade for most of the day, and its natural brown fibre blends in with trees and plants.
