I use pine straw and it works great. Very plentiful and cheap here in the south too. Use what is readily available for you.

they will use just about anything LOL
as long as its clean and doesnt hold moisture it should be fine to use.
I have seen pigeons use feathers to build a nest

Here is a new one for you....I use nothing !
I use pads and never provide anything else. They sometimes find strange objects that I sometimes drop, like a rubber band, a twisty from the Kale I feed, and they will often use the Kale for nesting instead of eating....
I have "issues" with some nesting material such as tobacco stems etc.
I want to hear the "issues"..Here is a new one for you....I use nothing !

Dust, fungus spores, mold, etc. are all possible with various types of nesting material. I would rather not introduce anything which could possibly cause any harm under some conditions, especially if it is unecessary.I want to hear the "issues"..

Warren what kind of pads do you use and do you have moisture problems? I find the ones made of felt to be pretty good. You can also wash them with hot water and bleach.Here is a new one for you....I use nothing !
