Bird's nest

''This article is about nests dropped while Woodcutting. For nests used in Summoning and Herblore, see Crushed nest.''

A Bird's nest can be found when cutting trees, collected from the Managing Kingdom minigame, as a reward from an Evil Tree and sometimes as a reward in the Gnome Restaurant minigame. If a player is cutting a tree and sees it on the ground, they are advised to pick it up as it will soon disappear within 2 minutes.

The nests may contain tree or fruit tree seeds (which are used for Farming), gold rings, raven eggs, or bird's eggs.

They can also be crushed with a pestle and mortar, resulting in a Crushed Bird's nest, which can be used to make a Saradomin brew with the Herblore skill. Although a bird's nest cannot be traded, a crushed nest is tradeable. Once crushed with a Pestle and Mortar, a Bird's nest becomes worth coins [ update]

With the release of the Summoning skill by Jagex in January 2008, many players started desperately hunting for bird's nests, with the hope of getting a bird's egg which can be hatched if a player has the appropriate Summoning level.

On 3 March 2009, after numerous complaints by players not hearing whenever the nests dropped to the ground, Jagex decided to upgrade the sound effect of a bird's nest, which is now a bird chirping. This is the same sound a Magpie makes.

On 4 April 2011, upon the release of Livid Farm it was stated that the enhanced graphical trees around the clan camp would be 10% more likely to drop a birds nest. This does stack with a lucky rabbit's foot.

Obtaining nests
The most widely known method of obtaining a bird's nest is through woodcutting. When cutting trees or ivy, a bird's nest may randomly fall out of the tree or ivy next to the player. When this happens, a red message appears in the chatbox saying "a bird's nest falls out of the tree", and the sound of a bird chirping can be heard. After a short amount of time, if the player does not pick up the nest, it will disappear. The most efficient way to obtain nests through woodcutting is to chop the oak trees near the Falador Clan Camp while an Evil Tree's magical log-banking effect is present.

Wearing a Strung rabbit foot will increase the chances of getting a bird's nest while Woodcutting, and a Hunter level of at least 24 is required to wear one. They can be made using a ball of wool with a Rabbit foot, or by buying from another player or on the Grand Exchange. Stringing a Rabbit foot requires at least 37 crafting.

Bird's nests can also be obtained from Wyson the gardener, who is found in Falador Park. Wyson will give players nests in exchange for mole claws and mole skins, which are dropped by Giant moles and Molanisks. He would also exchange mole noses, received as a drop from the Giant mole provided that the player has completed the Elite Falador Tasks, for nests containing better items.

One other route to obtaining birds nests is using the Miscellania and Etceteria kingdom to work on cutting maple trees (teak or mahogany won't work) - up to eight nests a day can be obtained via this method. Note that players are likely to receive more nests when there is more money in the kingdom coffers.

Bird's nests can also be received as a reward from Evil trees.

Bird's nests can also be obtained as a reward in the Gnome Restaurant minigame.

It is possible to obtain three bird's nests at the same time while woodcutting.

Possible loot
NOTE: There are two different kind of nests with seeds which have separate piles in the bank. Woodcutting and Managing Miscellania activity nests give only rings, eggs, and tree seeds.



Tree Seeds (possible from both types)

It is also possible to get a Spirit seed, although this is by far the rarest seed found in a nest.

Eggs
(Note: it is more common to receive an egg from Managing Miscellania rather than from a tree.)
