we have some bonsai in pots with moss on top of the soil. the birds have
taken to helping themselves, for nest building. whilst we dont begrudge them
a bit , and we dont really have that much to spare.

what might be a way of deterring them? like something that spins in the
wind or some such? grateful for any suggestions please.

Would your birds like to come to our rockery?
We have plenty of moss on offer there.....

They'd be most welcome here, too. Birds take moss and wool from the
several hundred hanging baskets in the greenhouses and we're delighted
to let them do so. Birds mean less unwanted insects for us and the
really enormous pleasure of hearing them sing and watching them dash to
and fro. Customers have been known to have to wait for their hanging
basket when a wren built a nest in one of them, a fuchsia couldn't be
sold because a blackbird made her home in it and one year my stepson's
fleece - which he'd slung over a wire and forgotten about for a day or
so - became the des.res. of another wren and my daughter's garden
revamp has had to wait a while, because there's a nest in a hedge. The
more, the merrier!

Why not rake up some moss from elsewhere and put it round your bonsai until
the birds have finished lining their nests?
