Before the NestEgg was hatched, it began as a simple project between father and son: building a birdhouse.

In an effort to reduce cutting processes and material waste, while still producing something functional and aesthetically pleasing, the desire to improve the birdhouse quietly took root.

While evaluating the external aesthetics, we were stopped in our tracks by a single thought:

Would a bird like this?

Wait, what do birds like?

What do birds actually look for in a home?

Those questions led us away from birdhouses entirely and toward nature itself: toward homes naturally formed and inhabited by birds.

What we found were not boxes, but cavities: formed inside deadwood trees through time, decay, weather, and life.

Traditional birdhouses are shaped by historic construction methods rather than biological function. While the industry historically focused on what was easy for humans to cut and assemble, we have rejected those constraints to build strictly for the biological mandates birds seek.

From that insight, the NecTerra™ material system was born: a proprietary blend of recycled, biodegradable fibers and natural binders that enables entirely handmade production with zero emissions.
