A chickadee or a wren can lose close to ten percent of its body weight between dusk and dawn, and has to eat all of it back the next day. Studies of natural tree cavities show a sheltered hollow can cut a small bird's overnight energy use by roughly a quarter to well over a third. The trouble is that the old hollows are going: dead trees get cut, barns come down, and yards get tidier every year. A woven roosting nest can stand in for that, but only if three things are right. It needs a roof that sheds water, a door small enough to hold the warmth, and it has to be fixed so it doesn't swing. And please don't buy one labeled for hummingbirds. They have never used one and never will.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"prod-expert-name\" style=\"color:#E8B48A !important;\"\u003eDr. Margaret Ellison, Avian Ecologist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"prod-expert-inst\" style=\"color:#B9A68E !important;\"\u003eCumberland Backyard Bird Survey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-perfect-for\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🐦 Everyone with a feeder\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e❄️ Cold-winter states\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🏡 New yards with no old trees\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🌲 Cedars, hollies \u0026amp; hedges\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🪟 Kitchen-window watchers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🎁 The bird lover who has every feeder\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e👵 Grandparents \u0026amp; grandkids\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"prod-tag\"\u003e🕯️ In memory of someone who fed the birds\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003eQuality you can check yourself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"prod-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-cut Silver Creek meadow grass\u003c\/strong\u003e — undyed and unpainted, with no plastic, wire mesh or synthetic fiber anywhere on it.

That's the mark of real handwork, not a fault. Out in the weather the grass will slowly fade to a soft silver-gold, the way an old thatched roof does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe birds choose their winter beds in the fall and go in at dusk, usually a few minutes after sundown, so most people never see it happen. Hang it early, by mid-October if you can. Tie it firmly into an evergreen, a hedge or under a porch overhang, 5 to 10 feet up, with the door facing east or southeast and away from the prevailing wind. Keep it a few yards from your feeders and away from anything a cat can climb. Look for a few droppings or a small feather just inside the door. Three free things matter more than anything else: leave the lower branches on your evergreens, keep one untidy corner with a brush pile, and don't put any bedding inside; the birds prefer it bare. In late spring, once the birds have moved out, take it down, shake it out, rinse it with plain water and let it dry in the sun before hanging it again in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"prod-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-woven Silver Creek meadow grass, layered straw thatch, wooden roof disc, twig finial, jute hanging loop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural, undyed grass and straw, no paint, stain or sealant; weathers to a soft silver-gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Winter Bed nest · tie-down twine · hanging card · shipped upright in a box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (outer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 22 × 17 cm (8.7 × 6.7 in), including roof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound woven chamber, no corners, sized for a small huddle of little birds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEntrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound wren door, approx. 3.5 cm (1.4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverlapping straw thatch on a solid wooden disc, overhanging the room to shed rain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJute loop plus tie-down twine, to be fixed tight to a branch, trunk or post so it can't swing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarolina and Bewick's wrens, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches and other small winter birds · a winter roost first, an occasional spring nest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural straw and meadow grass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSiting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn an evergreen, hedge or under a porch overhang, 5–10 ft up, door facing east or southeast, away from feeders and the prevailing wind\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnce a year in late spring: take down, shake out, rinse with plain water, dry in the sun.
