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.

FAQs

Can these felts be washed?

No, these felts are designed to be disposable to maintain the highest hygiene standards for the health of your birds.

Does this pack include the plastic nest pans?

No, this product is the pack of 10 nest felts only. The Canary Nest Pans are sold separately.

Are these safe for newborn chicks?

Yes, the material is soft and non-toxic, providing a safe, comfortable surface for delicate hatchlings.

How many felts come in a package?

Each package contains 10 individual 5-inch nest felts.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential insulation for nestlings
  • Tailored 5-inch size fits most standard canary pans
  • High-quality construction from a British manufacturer
  • Soft texture prevents splay-leg and other development issues

Cons

  • Not machine washable (intended for replacement)
  • Requires purchase of separate nest pans for best results
  • Limited to canary-sized birds

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.
