600 count luxury nesting material

We saved some cat fur to hang out in a basket for bird nesting material. Last year I put some out in the front, where there is a bird nest, and it was taken away very quickly.

" The term "nesting material" refers to anything that birds may use to construct a nest, whether they create a simple depression of sticks and straw or if they have a more elaborate type of nest structure with intricate architecture and widely varied materials. Regardless of the nest size or shape, the nesting material serves several purposes: "

Cushioning eggs from the ground and parents' weight
Insulating eggs from temperature changes
Holding the clutch together for heat efficiency
Camouflaging the nest from predators
Protecting the nest from the elements


Twigs or sticks
Dead leaves
Grass clippings or dead grass
Yarn, string or thread
Human hair or animal fur
Feathers
Cattail fluff
Moss or lichen
Pine needles
Mud
Pebbles or small rocks
Spider web silk
Straw or other plant stems
Dental floss
Shredded paper
Broom bristles or mop string
