Interesting...I had no idea these things could kill birds. I
haven't yet left my fiber scraps out for birds but I was
considering doing exactly that this spring. Now I know better. Thanks!


As long as they're natural fibers (hair, wool, cotton), it's okay. It's
the synthetic stuff that's bad.

HTH!

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

Joan, did you read the article?

I'm no expert, but it wasn't an issue of the content of the fibers, but rather their ability to wrap around wings, legs, etc. and block circulation. It specifically mentioned hair.
