Ah, if we could only cancel the trash man and the expense, life would be good. Up here in Maine we pay a person to pick it up.

ultimately, we all do. either directly or in taxes. so reuse, reduce, recycle.

Absolutely never gave it a thought. How nice. I have tons of birds, chimpmunks, squirrels, etc. here, including, deer, bear, foxes etc. I'll save all my stuff and next month set it out. Waiting for the snow to be gone!!!

When our Malamute was still alive, the Tit Mice were always going in her doghouse (even while she was in there) picking up her fur for their nests. I never thought about the dryer lint and clippings...great idea!

what a great idea! I love to feed the birds never thought my clipping would help them out. I did try the dryer lint thing and the Mississippi birds didn't like it, get it's too hot here for lint.

i read that the dryer lint can get stuck in their throats and beaks and they can't get rid of it by coughing it out.

My mom had alzheimer's. She lived with us for 2 yrs. She went to an adult camp for about 5 hrs a day. They did lots of activities, one of them was threading cheerios on yarn and throwing them up on the tree branches for the birds.

She loved doing this
