Nesting Balls

Spring is here which means our feathered friends are looking for nest building materials that they may create a cozy haven for their little ones.
Alpaca fiber is one of the most luxurious fibers you can offer a bird as it constructs a strong and comfortable home for its family.
Once the nesting ball is hung in the tree, the birds will pluck pieces of fiber from the ball. This fiber is used to weave in and among other nest building treasures a bird will find when building a nest.
It is especially fun when you see a nest which is lined with the fleece you have provided.

The fleece is natural, sheared from the alpaca, unwashed.
This alpaca fiber may contain little bits of hay or dirt particles. This actually is a added bonus for the birds.
Alpaca nesting balls can be refilled and used year after year.

This listing is for a nesting ball filled with alpaca fiber. The grapevine nesting ball is 6 inches in diameter. A piece of jute is included which is used to hang the ball from a tree.

The fiber used is 100% alpaca fiber exclusively from our Suri alpacas.
On our ranch in Texas, we have 9 Suri alpacas. Our alpacas are hand shorn each spring, usually in April. Hand shearing is less stressful and cruelty free. We have found this allows the animals to be more trusting as they live in a loving and peaceful environment. All the animals on our ranch live a very happy and stress free life as it is important they are all treated with love, respect and kindness.
A peaceful loving environment allows the animals to thrive, in turn producing better fiber and overall better physical and emotional health and well being for all.
