I thought at first that it was a bit big for my pair of society finches, but they love it and it's roomy enough to turn around and not mess up tail feathers. I lined it with a piece of undyed sheep wool. They pick at the nest sometimes, but it seems to be holding up really well.

Good size. Thought they'd be smaller. Will see if birdies like them.

These appear to be a good enough product, but they are WAY too big for finches.

I bought this set of 2 nests for my zebra finches. I have 2 pairs of finches. Both pairs of finches have laid eggs in each of the nests. The nests came with 2 thin wires, which I wove into the top back of each nest for hanging. I put the wires through the cage bars, and twisted the ends together. This securely holds the nests in the upper corner of each cage.My pairs took to the nests immediately.I placed them on side and high in the corners of the flight cages, which is how finches make natural nests in Australia.I offered coconut fiber, bought from here on Amazon, which I loosened up for them beforehand, sphagnum moss, human hair clippings from my husband (he looked like Mark Twain, with the virus keeping us home!), and even some soft lint from the dryer.Also, I read a couple of tragic stories about finches getting their feet caught in the coconut fiber. I made sure no fibers were longer than about 1 1/2", and I carefully separated them from the wads that come in the packaging. I also only offered a small amount of each item,, so they wouldn't overbuild their nests. There was no problem and everyone is safe and healthy.Will update when the chicks hatch.The males used it all to make their comfy nests.

It is strong in the bird likes to perch on top of it. I can’t figure out how to hang it from the side of the cage, and there is no wire or anything similar provided.

Update:Just a precautionary warning, when the budgies start tearing into them over time, the strings can become loose enough to entangle them. I luckily managed to catch one of my parakeets getting entwined by the string and was struggling with it. Had I not been there when that happened, he would've strangled himself as it was wrapped around his neck and he was making it worse by struggling to try to get free. Once the other nest was getting strings loose I removed it, as well. So took one star off for potential hazard. Otherwise, they loved it while they had it.-----------------------------------------If they use it , fine, if they tear it up, fine :P Either way it'll do it's purpose. Right now they like to rip it up some, but seem to like to make it more "homely", at least the female does. So yea, either way, it's great. Came with thin wires to tie it in place, but we'll see if it holds well enough.

Two nests came with some pieces of wire for attaching to the cage. My finches got in here and wouldn't get out, they loved it. They have never acted like this with any other nest I have tried. They have abandoned other nests, and were just starting to grudgingly use a coconut shell one. As soon as I put this in, they went right to it. No fear! I think it's the wide opening and the shape of the nest, it looks similar to what they have tried to build with coconut fibers in their last nest. These are not going to be something I can clean, so I will just have to toss this one and put in a new one every few months, but it is all natural and I am ok with that, no harm to the environment. And my birds will be cozy in fresh nests. Excellent product, very happy!
