I'm so glad to find this thread on the topic of nest-constructing materials. I'm interested in learning more and share with what little experience I have.

Pheobes and Brown-crowned Nuthatch will tug on the fluffy materials on the end of my rope (nylon) presummably looking for nesting materials. Moss is another material I saw Pheobes collected. I can see the dryer lints potential problem as well.

I'm putting out more birds housing this spring. At this time, thus far I've noticed Carolina Wren already worked on one of their "homes" in my garden.

These are new "houses" that I'm working on their placement next.
