One of my Patreon patrons asked if I would design a pattern for the animal rescue efforts in Australia. I had already been thinking about a birds nest and so here is the little nest. I hope many of you will consider putting any information you have in the comment section that will help other people participate.

I checked with Wires.org to make sure my measurements would meet their requirements before I started. So as long as you use the pattern exactly as written you should be fine.
