Pest protection: The benefits of tobacco stems in the nest

Nest building plays a large role in the relationship between male and female birds, and also in a pair's bond to their nest. Good nesting material promotes breeding. Furthermore, they are an effective means of protecting breeding pigeons and their young from pests, which also benefits breeding results. It is sufficient to provide the pigeons with the tobacco stems during the nest building phase.
Birds build a more or less complex nest from various materials in order to hatch eggs and care for their young in a sheltered area.
The constructions vary greatly from species to species.
The stems have a length of approx. 5-10cm.
Division of labor in nest building (Source Wikipedia)
Whether and how much effort male or female birds put into nest building is primarily a question of species. In many cases, partners build together, with the male often bringing suitable nesting material while the female is responsible for the arrangement and interior design, so to speak. In some bird species, females build entirely alone, in others, males. Here are some examples from the local bird world:
House martins and swallows build together. Carrion crows, magpies and jackdaws also build cooperatively – although here there is sometimes a division of labor: the males are primarily suppliers of nesting material. Mute swans and white storks also build together. House and tree sparrows are particularly equal.
It is typical for some finch species that only the females build: greenfinch, goldfinch, chaffinch, serin, etc. However, they are accompanied by their partner, meaning he is present. Female blue tits and the great reed warbler and reed warbler are left to build their nests alone.
In some bird species, males begin nest building alone and continue their activity when a female bird shows interest in them and the nest. This is the case with the penduline tit, where the pair then continues to build together once the nest and partner have been accepted by the female. Otherwise, the male begins a new nest elsewhere.
