I have for several years offered sheep's wool in a hanging wire cage,
and at season's end, have found several nests with the wool either
lining the nest or incorporated into the construction of it. It is also
entertaining to watch them pulling the wool from the holder and carrying
it away. My squirrels love it too...

I have an alpaca farm next door, and they gave me a wire suet feeder
stuffed with alpaca wool. After seeing tufts of insulation in our yard
this week (probably those nasty, opportunistic starlings have found
yet another way into our attic), I figure it is not too soon to hang
this in a tree and see if the birds--any birds--like it. It appears to
have been heavily picked at already. If anyone is interested in
knowing if the birds find this appealing or not, I'm happy to keep you
posted!
