Actually, my understanding is that fabric strips (and I would think ribbon) are very bad for baby birds. Unlike natural materials such as grass and twigs, water soaks into fabric instead of beading up and running off of it. As a result, the fabric strips stay wet too long and the baby birds catch pneumonia. I'm pretty sure wool and yarn would be bad for the same reason. (Hair would be okay, I think.)
