Bird nesting cage

Our backyard is full of trees. I love it during the summer, but curse it during the fall raking season.

As you can imagine our trees are full of birds. All types of birds. We already have some existing nests and yesterday I saw some birds picking up twigs and making some new ones. I was thinking what a cool idea to get them some supplies for their nest and give it some color!

I went to a local craft store and bought some colored wool, yarn, feathers and picked up a bird feeder at Target.

I wore plastic cooking gloves so my smell didn't get on the supplies.  I stretched the wool apart and balled into the cage. I added some cut up yarn in various sizes and multi-colored feathers and just layered them on top of each other.

When it was all done I hung it up near my existing bird feeder and threw some seed into the nesting material cage so it would attract them.

Fingers crossed for some pretty bird nests!
