Twin Cottage Coir Bird Nest

This nest is a wide, low box of pressed coconut coir with two round entrance holes side by side on the front. A flat roof sticks out over the entrances, keeping them shaded and dry. Cords at each end let it hang level from a hook, branch or balcony railing. The long chamber has room for more than one small bird, and the two openings give an easy way in and out. Coir lets air through, so the inside stays airy in warm weather. House sparrows are social birds that often nest near one another, so a roomy house like this suits them well, along with munias and other small garden birds. Hang it somewhere quiet and enjoy the busy comings and goings.
