Lavender fabric sheets

[Bird nut 2000]

You think it would be ok if I put lavender fabric sheets beside the nest boxes but not where they could get to them only smell them.

and the reason is....?

 

[Bird nut 2000]

Lavender is a stress reliver and it keeps mice away

 

[Bird nut 2000]

Well that and camomile

Okay, well, if you try it, let us know!

 

[Bird nut 2000]

Will do

Nice idea! Maybe a safer option would be to put dried real lavender IN the nesting boxes with the bedding. Would you consider that?

 

[Bird nut 2000]

I don't have any so I thought maybe fabric sheets would work

I have lavender and camomile seeds but I could not find them wanted to plant them today

I wouldn't put anything scented in, especially chemical filled artificially scented things, in with birds as they have sensitive respiratory systems.
