Pampas grass

[Mickp]

wondering if anyone else uses the spear heads as nesting material for their birds.
my birds prefer it over feathers, even the lazy Gouldians line their nests with it

I wish i had some, excellent nesting material . Another useful weed.

Ive noticed a few ostrich feathers in the gouldians nests lately. I didnt think pampas grass could be grown anymore?

I did have my eye on some at work but they went and cut them out on me the buggers as they are a noxious weed over here....would like to give it a go , anything for free .....pete

I have it growing out the front of my house.The council sprayed it ( about 20 large plants ) but most has grown back.

Is that why you used to see it everywhere and now you don't? Just goes to show I should keep up with the rules about plants.

there's some across the road from my place. a fire went through a while ago and burnt everything down to the ground, took the opportunity to grab some of the small clumps of grasses growing back, one i know is pampas and another unknown grass, but have planted as future nest sites for my pictas. there are still some small clumps of pampas there still, but it's a real bloody pain to dig out, and didn't do well with transplanting!!! but still alive... just... if you're up for a trip...

I dont want to grow it mate. I still remember the cuts from it as a kid...nasty stuff....pete
