Save your threads and scraps
#15
when I find a birds nest I can recognize things in there that came out of my sweepings - hair, lint, even dental floss.
Sadiemae, you can send all your unwanted birds to my place!! I love them. We moved there 20 years ago and it was an open field. Parts of it have grown up with trees, and every year there are new and different birds - I love to hear them sing and see them doing their thing.

While waiting in the Dr. office this morning I was looking at a Birds and Blooms magazine. There was an article about saving threads and cotton scraps for the birds to make their nests. Never thought about doing that but definitely will start saving for spring. Do you do save your scraps/thread?

Bird nests built with scraps of fabric retain rain water far too long, whereas natural materials dry out faster, as a favor to the birds, do not give them threads and scraps--the threads can entangle little birds feet and damage them. I know, it seemed like a great idea, but the consequences can be deadly for the birds. piecefully, the old one
