How do I keep my nest continuing to build to full capacity?

Hello there,

My nest is at 60 percent. I am trying to finish it.  I've put out all kinds of food. Super food and regular. Any suggestions or tips?  Thank you.

You need to attract two more different birds which haven't already added to it.  Every multiple of five will add to the nest.

You're attracting Macaws but they won't help, since they've already added to the nest.

What is the best way to attract with plants?  What should I use.  Thanks.

That depends which bird you want to attarct. Have a look through the wildlife guide, choose the bird or birds you want to set up for, and the guide will tell you which attracting plants you need. (An easy option is the RFH Bellis Lycaena, which attracts several birds, but you'd have to wait for it to go RFH.)

If you want a certain bird to nest in it, then you need to make sure 1 of the 5 that builds the nest is that one.  So many birds, most in fact including topiary ones, griffins, phoenix etc can build nests, but only a few of them can actually nest.
Looking at the wildlife guide chick section will tell you all the ones that nest.  All of the other adult birds apart from cuckoo can help build nests.

Too many mistakes in my previous post, sorry.

If you plant for zebra (black and/or white tulips), the tulips will turn into precious stones eventually, and you will be able to attract jackdaws and magpies. The plus is that in the next round, with this nest you can attract jackdaw and magpie chickies! Namely, you can also build nests by duckies, phoenixes for examples, but you want to make sure that you build nests with birds that are listed in the "chicks" section in the wildlife (WL) - so that you would be ablet to attract all the chickies and fill in the pictures.

My advice would be, once you are set up for a particular bird, make sure that it adds to at least two of your nests. So put out the first nest, and make the birdies to help build it, so to fill one spot in the nest. Then remove the unfinished nest in the storage, put out another nest in the garden, and let the same birdies fill one spot in this second unfinished nest too.

Apart from precicous stones, bellies are a good choice to plant, as they become RFH rather quickly (at their RFH stage they gwoth in butterflies, or as the WL says - insects), and as such they can help attract wrens, yellow wagtails, chaffinches --- these are all birdies that will help to build your nests, AND they all on the "chickies list" -- so you can later attract wren chickie, YW chickie etc.

Good luck!
