colors). The fiber that is used in the ball is typically from the seconds
that are shorn from the animal each year. (No animal is harmed to secure
the fiber.) The seconds are normally too short or not the quality used
in the production of fine garments. The nesting ball hangs from
a jute rope in a tree and blends into the environment. Alpaca, a hollow
fiber, wicks water and when wet, quickly dries to its natural fluffy
state. The delicate fiber, unlike some nesting materials, is easily
used by birds and does not attract predators to the nest. The chickadees
and titmice, in particular, enjoy it!
