yes they do. a friend found a nest in an old denim shirt pocket of her husbands once when she left the wash up for 2 days so they could get a good spring rain rinse and then dry well. the shirt ended up being up for mush longer and DH had do make do without it till the CW Mom was thru with it.
the same friend also had one nest in a toolbox that was kept under their tractor seat. It was either rarely closed or didn't close...anyway it was discovered one day as she and her 2 year old son were mowing a field. She told him that it was a "Toolbox bird" which he called them for many years.
One build hr nest in a hanging basket 1 ft from my front door that was left over from last year. I nearly discarded the old dead plants until she flew out at me. The only seemed bothered if I would go right up to the nest to look in.
They are very fun and joyful birds with their lovely lilting song. I hope you enjoy yours.

here's the hungry babies in my planter basket
