Does anyone know a website that sells nesting material in abundance at a reasonable price?

What kind of nesting material? Grass, cotton pods, horse hair, bermuda hay, coconut fiber, etc. You looking for something specific?
If you just want A LOT....get a bale of Bermuda hay!

im looking for coco fiber,jute, and this other material that looks like it has jute and cotton and some other material that look like hair. they really like this best. i cant find a store near me that has any.

I have a package of exactly what you're talking about.
My birds hate the stuff! I bought mine from the internet. 500grams was $15 bucks. BEVO was the brand.

We carry many types of nesting material.

I've found that the nesting material varies with species. My African waxbills use coco fiber almost exclusively, with a lining of white feathers. Fairestfinches has something called manilla that was used by my Fire finches to build their own nest. Many of the others use Bermuda hay. I offer a choice of things, till I see what each pair will use.

Yeah, for my zebras and societies they use everything i put in there. i want to get coco fiber becasue my waxbills seem to like it but there wasnt enough to build the nest they usually bild. Fairest finches is 100g of coco fiber a lot? Like i need a lot of coco fiber and jute for sure.

Hi, J!

Typically, 100 g of coco fiber is enough for a pair of waxbills to build two nests. While we don't advertise it on our website, we do sell coco fiber in 333 g sizes.

We also have lots of jute. A 100g bag of jute should last awhile. It all depends on how much your birds use to build a nest.

Best suggestion I can offer is to start with the 100 g bags and see how long it lasts. Then, you'll have a better idea of how much you'll need to purchase at a time.
