From: April Lind <[email protected]> Subject: [lace] A bird of a different feather!
Again I would like to caution all about leaving colored thread ends for birds to use in their nests. I am a retired Wildlife Rehabilitator (among other things) and this subject arises every year. If you want to do do this please leave out only natural colored threads. Bright colored thread attracts predators! Thanks, April in sunny Shoreline Washington April, someone told me that man-made materials such as string, thread, and dryer lint do not dry quickly after a rain and the nest remains wet and cold, which is not good for eggs or newly hatched babies. Do you agree? Mother Nature has the best materials. After hearing this I ran to my backyard and spent a great deal of time removing the above-mentioned materials from where I had placed them in the trees. The neighbours must have wondered....
