A bird nest with seeds can be found while woodcutting most types of trees, as well as several other activities. Bird nests may contain tree or fruit tree seeds, and also provide an empty nest. The chance of getting a bird nest from a tree is 1/256 each time you would normally get a log, regardless of the type of tree.

About and uses

If a nest appears while a player is cutting a tree, a chirping sound will usually be heard, and the player will get a message in the chat box stating, A bird's nest falls out of the tree. The nest is dropped on the ground and will despawn after 2 minutes if not picked up. Redwood trees do not drop seed nests, and instead only drop clue nests.

When woodcutting, a roll is done to determine the type of nest the player will receive. The table contains 100 slots: 3/100 egg nest (one for each colour), 32/100 ring nest, 65/100 seed nest. When wearing a strung rabbit foot, five seed slots are removed, making the chances 3/95 for bird's egg, 32/95 for ring and 60/95 for seeds.[1] Twitcher's gloves also increase the chance to receive a particular type of nest by approximately 20%.

During bird house trapping, at most 1 seed nest is awarded per birdhouse. The chance of getting a seed nest is improved with higher Hunter level, but is not affected by the tier of birdhouse.

Seed nests are also rewarded from Managing Miscellania when subjects are tasked with collecting maple, teak or mahogany logs.

A variant of the seed nest is provided by Wyson in exchange for mole claws and mole skins. The Wyson seed nests are a separate item with a different drop table, and don't stack in the bank with regular seed nests.

Discontinued nests

The current version of seed nests were introduced on 10 January 2019 with the release of the Farming Guild. All nests previously obtained would remain in banks and inventories, and all new nests obtained can now reward dragonfruit, celastrus, and redwood tree seeds. This change was made to prevent players from obtaining large quantities of the new seeds immediately upon release of the content.

Trivia

  • There is a 1/256 chance that the Armadyl crossbow special attack sound will be heard instead of the chirping sound when a nest is dropped from a tree.[2]
