As a vet, I have had to pull out the thread that was wound around the toes of a finch before they died of gangrene! we did save the bird in time.

There may be perfumes and soap residue, but more important it isn’t a good nest building material. Lint HARDENS AFTER GETTING WET providing a poor nest for baby birds.<br /><br />There are several different nesting materials that we DO recommend. Birds generally line the inside of their nest with a soft lining. Clean pet hair or cotton yarn cut no longer than 3 inches can be stuffed into an old mesh onion sack or an unused suet cage and hung from trees and bushes for birds to use in nest building. (I know it’s not hard to collect a handful of cat hair right now as the cats are switching to their spring coat!) <br /><br />In the end, whether the birds are collecting twigs, leaves, feathers, cattail fluff or cottonwood down, moss, bark, pine needles, mud, or spider webs from the yard or the nesting material we offer, it's fun to watch as different birds collect different construction materials in the spring. whiskerchasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351958786710302173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-54374302035621936062013-01-29T09:31:55.032-05:002013-01-29T09:31:55.032-05:00Karen, this is SO unique - so many options to use ...Karen, this is SO unique - so many options to use it.
