I know that some softbills use spider web in nest construction, but do any finches use it as well?

Thanks for your replies.

So next question; is it just gold finches, cardelius species or other cup nesters as well?

Hi Iaos, I have hung spider web in the aviary for the chaff finches but this year had a young star caught up in it and broke its leg in the struggle to release itself. I stopped providing it after that.
