Product Information

Full details

The Hatch Wells Canary Nest Felts are essential accessories for canary breeders looking to provide a soft, cozy, and hygienic environment for their hatchlings. Designed specifically for bird enthusiasts and professional aviary managers, these 5-inch diameter liners offer superior comfort and insulation for delicate baby birds. While these felts are highly durable and well-crafted, they are designed as single-use or limited-use items, meaning they require regular replacement to maintain optimal cleanliness within the nesting area.

How many felts come in a package?

Where are these manufactured?

Can I use these for other bird species?

While intended for canaries, they may fit other small finches depending on the size of your nesting hardware.

Troubleshooting

The felt does not fit my existing nest pan.

Verify that your pan is a standard 5-inch size. If your pan is significantly smaller or larger, this felt may not sit correctly.

The nest felt becomes damp quickly.

Ensure that the nest location has adequate ventilation and check that the parents are not spilling water from nearby drinkers into the nest.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Hatch Wells Canary Nest Felts is straightforward:

  1. Inspect the Nest Pan: Ensure your Canary Nest Pan is clean and dry.
  2. Placement: Gently press the 5-inch felt into the bottom of the pan. It should sit flush against the sides.
  3. Securing: If necessary, ensure the edges of the felt are tucked evenly under the rim of the pan so it does not shift when the hen enters or leaves the nest.
  4. Maintenance: Monitor the nest daily. If the felt becomes heavily soiled with droppings or dampness, it should be removed and discarded. Never attempt to wash and reuse a soiled felt, as this can harbor bacteria that may harm the hatchlings. Always replace with a fresh felt to ensure the health of the brood.
