Hi.
Witch one you buy?
Do you think the coconut is a good one??
The large package is the best, right?


Thanks.

I get both the Abba nesting Material and the Sisal or Coconut (last time I got Sisal, looks no different than Coco fiber to me though they look different in the photo).

You have to cut the sisal otherwise it can get tangled, but some of the birds prefer that to the Abba material
The waxbills preferred the Abba.

I also use Orchard Grass hay which I buy from PetSmart.

If you are in Fl, I would walk towards the beach and find a coconut palm and use that. I lived in Ft myers for a while and there were plenty to choose from
I don't charge admission to my house, but it's a zoo

2 black zebras,] 2 fawn zebras and 2 button quails.
2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 rats, 2 freshwater fish tanks
