Wildlife World sheep with wool

Decorative ceramic sheep with wool from the English Wildlife World.

By hanging the sheep in the garden, preferably near the birds' nest boxes, you make it easy for garden birds to find warm, soft nesting material for their nests.

You can also insert a small branch through the sheep to make it easier for the birds to land while they collect wool and other nesting material.

When the sheep is emptied of wool, it can of course be refilled. You can use new wool, but also fur from your dog, cat, rabbit, or other pets. If you don't have that on hand, you can also use, for example, cotton wool, unraveled cotton, or similar. Just remember that the material must be biodegradable and not treated with chemicals.
