| | | Losing your hair Having just had my twice yearly haircut, I was reminded to put the trimmings outside for those birds that like a nice cosy lining for their nests.
It has been suggested that people who put nasty chemicals on their hair shouldn't do this.  |

jaki | we scarified the lawn last week and currently have a big pile of moss - i have stopped my old dear from sticking this in the compost and instead piled it on the patio - it doesnt look the best but at the rate tits , finches, wrens , blackbirds, thrushes, robins, and spuggies are taking it for nesting it wont be there very long

jaki | You should never put out lint from the tumble dryer. It gets wet and can cause hypothermia in the chicks as its not wool it goes into a wet mass in the nest and holds the water. You can buy wool for nesting or use natural hair.  |

| | | Re: Losing your hair Every time I comb my hair I get enough for a decent sized toupee. Shame I can't put it out for the birds.
