That is a great idea, but I could not do that, as I have to many wild cats around here, of course I make sure they get food, I just can't stand to see something or someone go hungry. thank you and God bless.

Great idea for the fabric bits, but be careful with the length of thread. I never thought about the danger to birds, until once I saw a little house finch hanging from a tree branch. It must have been trying to weave it into its nest and it got wrapped around its neck. The poor thing strangled. :cry:

I love that idea. Need to start doing that here.

The website says to clip your threads to 3" in length so they don't harm the birds.

Yes, please do cut the thread into short lengths. I have zebra finches, and it's soooo easy for them to get thread wrapped around their tiny feet. I used to give them tiny fabric scraps for their nests, which they LOVED, but I stopped giving it to them the day one's toenail got hung up in the threads. Luckily it managed to free itself, but I was >thisclose< to having to capture it and untangle its foot. :shock:

What a brilliant idea - thank you

I wonder if this is necessary? |
Very good idea!

we used to have a cotton hammock outside and the chickadees would pull tufts out for their nests, cute.
