Product Description
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 among other nest building treasures they find to build a nest.
It is especially fun when you see a nest which is brightly colored with the fleece you have provided.
This nesting ball not only provides for the birds, but if given to children to construct, there can be developmental benefits.
Learning colors, feeling the texture of fleece, learning about the process of poking the fleece into a hole with their finger or the brightly colored stick - all a fun part of the learning process.
This kit can be used for young children up to adults. It is very easy to make. Instructions are included.
The fleece is dyed with food coloring or kool-aid - both nontoxic to the birds or humans.
This alpaca fiber may contain little bits of hay or dirt particles. This actually is an added bonus for the birds.
Alpaca nesting balls can be refilled and used year after year.
You will receive one nesting ball kit. This kit contains enough alpaca fiber to fill the 4 inch grapevine ball and a piece of jute used to hang the ball from a tree. You will also receive a special stick you may want to use for stuffing the ball with fleece.
The fiber used is 100% alpaca fiber exclusively from our Suri alpacas.
On our ranch in Texas, we have 10 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.
WE ARE GRATEFUL YOU ARE SUPPORTING OUR SMALL FARM BUSINESS. SELLING ALPACA PRODUCTS ALLOWS ALL SMALL ALPACA FARMS/RANCHES TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THIS INCREDIBLE FIBER. IT ALSO PROVIDES A SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE ALLOWING OUR PLANET TO THRIVE, PROVIDING A MORE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL.
