My Grandmother Pins Cat Hair To Trees So Birds Can Make Luxury Nests. So Damn Thoughtful
They do! i literally have a bucket full of dog+cat hair near my bird feeder that gets emptied every day during spring. What a long comment speaking of critter fur...

That's genius! When my mom was still alive she used to put cloth ribbons in the yard and on branches of the trees so the birds would use them in their nests. She said every living thing deserved to have pretty things. Lol! I wish I had pictures of the nests that were built in the tree of our front yard cause they were fabulous! Not a day goes by that I don't miss her.
Baby bird: That 4-legged animal smells just like home! I'll go make friends...
I toss out clumps of dryer lint by the bird feeders and gathering places.
dryer lint is actually bad for the birds because it holds moisture

This also works with human hair. One of my relatives used to cut the hair of other people (he was not a barber or a hairdresser but was still a quite good at cutting hair) and then he left the cut hair outside so the birds and squirrels could take them to make nests.
Once I cut my hair and the tits took it. That year I had ten tits following me and standing on my head like I was the bloody snowhite!

IRONY! (they line their nests with the hair of their arch-enemies!)
Little birds usually collect my alaskan malamute's undercoat after combing. It's soooo soft and fluffy. :)
A friend used that hair to knit. You need to spin it with something else though , can 't remember if it was sheep or goat.

I didn't know this. This is really a great idea. I will do this from now.
They do use the hair. Put some single strands of yarn in trees and you will see them in their nests.
They love my bunnies hair! I swear he's part angora, but as I don't use it, the birds and squirrels get to :)
I'm not even close to a 'Grandma" Yet but, My 3 Dogs lose soooooooo MUCH Hair, instead of tossing it in the trash, I spread it out on the trees on my property, for the Birds, Squirrels, etc. It's so cold right now where we live, I always figure that: "Why Not?" It's usually gone within a few hours & if it helps keep some 'babies or Animal Family warm, cosy & snug during the winter; that makes me feel great! :)
i should say they do I use sheep wool and it goes into nice warm nests
I do a similar thing with the hair (tons of hair) from my golden retriever, our birds must have the cosiest nests in Ireland
I'm sure they do, I've watched them spend minutes picking my dog's fur out from between the fibers of our backdoor coir doormat. Yeah, they love fur for their nests.
I do that with my dogs fur, the blue tits collect it for their nests every year
When I groom our dog I let his fur fly so that the birds can make nests
Cigarette butts can be made into bird nests. And all the toxins in them protect the birds young from insects...
They like lint from the dryer, I also cut up socks with holes and set that out..it gets cold in Michigan .
used to do that with dog fur. Wouldn't cat (serious bird predator) fur make the birds nervous when they sat in the nest?
Hmmm with a Bernese Mountain dog and 4 rescue cats, this gives me such a great thing to do with all of that hair!!! Brilliant! I bet the birds love her lol
She should just leave 'em a couple bucks so they can get a room at a motel.
We used to do similar. Brush cat and dog and then tuck the hair along the fence and watch the birds "steal" it :)

I was laughing my a*s off until I remembered, “HEY- that’s me in 10 years!”
Fun! Had to see them all...yes, some were repeated, but this was great.
This is adorable, what lovable old people! The Santa on the toilet shows a sharp wit! Agree with Friedlander although, in my case, "that's me any day now!"

The rock on the table is a bath bomb-different salts, and soaps for soaking in the tub.
It's actually a half eaten giant jaw breaker candy. I've found quite a few of these in my house over the years...😄
