I found this idea (can't remember where!) last year while looking for something else and I thought it was so fun. So I thought I'd try it. Just fill a suet feeder with scraps of yarn and strings from fabric and hang it outside for the birds to collect to add to their nests. I used only natural fibers - mostly cotton and linen and a bit of wool and I made sure they were all pretty short so no one gets tangled. I hung it by the feeders in hopes that they would notice it. I haven't seen anyone on it yet but I'll keep watching. :)
Hello! Thanks for visiting. I love to sew and knit. I love thrifting and searching for old treasures. I'm trying to be as green as possible and apply it to my daily life. Please leave a comment and say hi! :)

LOVE this idea!!!
great idea!! :) this will make for some beautiful nests!
this is a great idea - thank you so much for sharing it! I'm totally going to try it :)
I had to stop putting suet out because the starlings would just eat it all in one day so this is a great way for me to use the cage.
hey hi!! :) any updates on this? did it work?
I love this creative idea for helping birds build their nests.
