nesting materials

[samantha]

i usually put some small twigs in ma loft for them to collect and put in the nest, but a funny thing happened last week

 

i got some new birds and i was rigging up a sectioned off bit to quarenteen them for a bit, and i left my box of nails in the loft

 

the next day i went to check on them and a pair had taken at least 100 assorted sized nails up into its nest, and they are not happy with me for trying to take them back out

pigeons will use anything to make nests

Ours were nest building the other day and found all sorts of manky nails and screws in the garden to "build" with. They now have straw....
