What a great idea and so fun to see “young human” and Floradora working together to give color to the birds in this nesting season.
We love the idea of making some soft fleece available to the birds, and the bright little balls of colour are like blessings in the trees…
What a clever idea! Have you had any takers yet? It would certainly help you to identify their nests.
We haven’t spotted any birds lifting wool from the pine cones yet – but we are watching!
What cheerful hangings.
Thanks – we had fun making them! Something does seem to be pulling at the fluff, so maybe the birds are enjoying them too!
what a good idea…I have just poked some threads, etc into the branches..never tried it with the wool fluffs…thanks for the inspiration!
We will probably never see the results, but hope the birds will enjoy the cheery nest material!
