NO FOR THE BIRDS! They can choke on the small strips. Better yet, use it for tying down tall plants, tomatoes, vines but not to let the birds put into nests or even let the birds have the opportunity to get them. You can use embroidery thread in small pieces that they can use for their nests. I always save my threads over the winter and put them into the shrubs and the birds pick them off, but please not the fabric. Edie
