1
Mix together dry grass, fluffy seed heads, straw, feathers, hair, wool and thread.

2
Cut the end off a forked stick. Wrap the material around the stick. Secure with wool.

3
Add more layers until a large bundle is formed (keep the lengths of the wool and string short).

4
Hang the bundle in a tree. Remove any loose wool threads as the bundle is depleted.
