PS: klc Your probably right, the loose stuff should be called coconut fiber...but for some reason they market the solid, semi-solid formed products (like the plant pots) as "Coir"...maybe the marketers wanted something shorter to say? Something new and exotic sounding?
The crows are way too clever....but once I figured it out I just left some old damaged pots out for them to have and we were both happy!

PS: where do you guys get your coconut fiber?

PSS: some other good offerings are milkweed fluff and cattail heads (especially in urban areas with none nearby naturally)
If we had no holes in our leaves we would have no butterflies!
