Birds are facing challenges finding the right materials for their nests due to urbanisation and habitat loss. 'Woolie' steps in as your garden superhero, offering a sustainable solution to help birds overcome these challenges and thrive in their nesting and breeding efforts.
Find a cosy spot for 'woolie' in a tree nook or hang it visibly near shrubs or from a sturdy branch and add a short, firm twig through two of the holes.
Timing is everything. Provide 'Woolie' with nesting materials between February and July, aligning perfectly with the breeding season when birds are on the lookout for resources to build their nests.

Wool Refill
This pack of natural washed British sheep's wool offers valuable material for wild birds to line their nests. This improves insulation for young chicks during cold weather. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South West's rolling hills, wild birds seek out this natural material known for its strength, softness and warmth.
For the perfect wool dispenser try the Simon King 'Woolie' the ceramic hanging sheep! Or a roosting nest pocket!
Correct Usage
- The wool may be offered in its laminated box with a hole at the front so that that birds can tease out single threads, one at a time.
- Alternatively, the wool can be put in a spiral feeder to allow single threads to be taken.
- Provide nesting material between February and July
- NEVER introduce nest material into the nest space artificially in clumps as this can lead to entrapment of the birds
- We do NOT recommend this wool for use with captive birds.
Tall Nesting Pocket
A beautiful affordable nest pocket. The pocket should be concealed in a hedgerow or shrub's foliage and can be a lifesaver for small birds in cold conditions helping them maintain body heat.
- Made of various natural fibres such as reeds & grasses (appearance may vary due to seasonal availability)
- Built-in wire hanger to allow the roost pocket to be attached to branches
- Perfect for species such as robins, wrens, finches, bearded tits etc.

- It can be used in reed beds for warbler species

A secondary application for the pocket is for small mammals like wood mice, harvest mice or even for domestic small mammals like hamsters and mice
