Tobacco Stalks


Recommended Posts

As I'm just starting up I was going to use Tobacco Stalks as nesting material,not yet as I'm not ready for pairing up. I've read the benefits about it keeping mites and lice from the birds,but as I've bought a box of it in not sure how I should use it,may seem silly,what I mean is it's very long and stiff,I'm wondering how the birds will be able to use it to build a nest. Am I supposed to cut it up or soak it first?. Or have I got a bad box?. I'd love to hear from some of you that use this.

I use tobacco stalks I cut them in half before giving them to the birds.

Just checked some of your previous posts Paul. You can phone me anytime you want to and I'll do my best to help you or put you onto someone who will be able to help you if I can't.

I'll see you soon at the next Fed meeting in February, once Mick has given me your contact details. :)
