RE: OT ! Yarn & Birds

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Just a reminder that yarn and cloth scraps are NOT good for building bird
nests.  These items don't dry out as quickly as natural material and can
cause problems for the baby birds -> they can get cold and die.  Best to
leave the nest building strictly for the birds.

My mom uaually put 6" - 12" pieces of red yarn from Christmas packages on a
bush or the discarded Xmas tree.  Birds took it, and built nests.
