Re: Nesting Materials
Anything that will hold the shape in a nest. I've used Orchard Grass, Timothy Hay, Coconut Fiber, even sheets of paper towel.

Re: Nesting Materials
Dried grass , hay , coco fibre , feather's , sometime's they will pluck each other 
Personally I wouldnt give them any type of paper towel , I find it hold's moisture and probably bacteria
while the chick's are growing in the nest

Re: Nesting Materials
The one thing I would avoid is the white string that comes in little boxes meant to be hung on the cage bars--you often find this item for sale in pet shops. People have had problems with those little strings wrapping around legs and cutting off circulation.
