I made a set of nesting boxes for BCO craft swap project. I designed patterns and printed them on colored papers which I used to cover the lids. Used chipboard under the printed papers for the tops, and used mat board for the bottoms. I cut strips of kraft paper and glued them over all seams, inside and out, for extra strength and neatness.
We had a queue happening for wool for nesting by three species during one morning at "smoko" time. So far we have had :-
Noisy Friarbird
Red Wattle bird
Yellow Faced Honeyeater
Eastern Spinebill
Striped Honeyeater
White Throated Gerygone
Availing themselves of the free nesting material.
Highly recommended. We also provide choir but it is not as popular.
Nesting, can be a long process. Nurturing children is a long and on-going process too. Yet, most mothers are able render unconditional love in caring for the children.
I haven't identified this little bird yet (Black Chinned Hummingbird??) -- I can't see a whole lot of it.
I have no idea where this bird was planning to take this nesting material, since we have made every potential nesting site on our property unusable, but they're still flying around with beaks full of stuff, looking for somewhere to put it. (If you haven't read the rest of this saga, please don't feel sorry for them - once they've got young, or even an egg, they attack everyone, drawing blood. They are, officially, vermin, despite their beauty and elegance.)

Crazy birds all over the place. lol If I had a decent lens I could have shown you the chicks in the nests.
It wasn't my intention when I started making this, but I think it looks like a Russian Nesting doll.
My first thought when I began it was, "Can you see me?" But as she began to take shape, I kept hearing, "I am a part of something bigger than myself."

While in Roatan we spotted this little Hummer sitting on her nest . It is the first nesting hummer we have seen We didnt want to get to close and disturb her. We couldnt get to the other side of her there was a cliff with a pretty sharp slope.
The osprey pair Dos and Tres Rayas are nesting at the Mexican restaurant again! Hello my friend! I think this is mama. I did my best osprey impression and she responded in kind. It was cool because we were on the way to breakfast with my parents and I got to show them one of "my" bird families. =o)
I named them for their stripes on their wings. On one of them "two stripes" show, and on the other "three stripes" show. I don't speak spanish, but since they are nesting and raising their young in the parking lot of a Mexican restaurant, I thought the names were fun. They successfully raised two chicks last year. I got to watch them from the nest to flight school! Hopefully I will again this year.
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

We have a lot of nesting activity in the Gardens right now. This is an American Redstart, one of my favourite summer visitors.
