Round Vine Bird Nesting Material Ball with All Natural Alpaca Wool for Wild Bird Houses

I received this Nesting Ball yesterday afternoon and couldn't wait to write a review about how happy I am! This Nesting Ball is a magnate for birds building their Spring nests. I'm not a bird fanatic, but we do enjoy our backyard birds antics and have several feeders and birdbaths. As soon as I got this Nesting Ball, I hung it up asap. I placed it on an tall hook on my deck along their route between a lilac bush and the feeders as they dart back and forth all day long between the two. Once the birds found this by the next day, it turned into an all-day long habit for a pair of Chickadees. The fluff mounds they flew away with were bigger than their heads! I can watch it from my living room, dining room and kitchen and I find myself constantly looking up at it; they are quick and if you are not watching at that very moment, you'll miss it. I hesitated in purchasing this (do I really need it?), but I am so glad I bought it. The ball is completely filled, and I reached in to pluck the filling out a little. I will leave it up all summer since I frequently spotted Golden Finches tugging at the coconut fibers of my hanging baskets last summer. The company will soon have pouches of the Alpaca hair to purchase for future use, but I think that this basket as-is will last for more than one season. Yes, get it!!!

My wife really enjoyed seeing the birds utilize this material to make their nests.

This clever item arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. After 3 weeks of little interest, I finally caught a tufted titmouse (no surprise!) pulling the alpaca fur from the 'orb' and flying off to its nest building site. Yay! Then last week a black capped chickadee was doing the exact same thing. Who's to say what birds I've missed! I'm so pleased with this unique and organic way to support our feathered friends.

Like this ide and looks natural in my yand. Also like I can add my dryer lint to it easily for more material but did feel it was a little less than expected in the ball. I thought it would be more packed in and not as much filling as I had expected but do like I can add other things as it gets low.

The birds started building their nests right away with this fur!…Love it
