Safety Coir Bird Nest

This nest is woven from coconut coir into a rounded pouch that hangs from a long neck, with a wide tube-shaped tunnel sticking out from one side as the entrance. Birds go in through the tunnel to reach the chamber, which stays tucked away and out of sight, much like the hanging grass nests baya weavers build over fields and ponds. This is the feature that gives the nest its name. The neck ends in a loop, so it hangs from a hook, branch or balcony railing. Thick coir walls let air through and keep out wind and rain. It suits house sparrows, munias and other small garden birds looking for a private place to raise their chicks.
