Ever watch a bird make a nest? 🐦

1. I once watched a hummingbird flying back-and-forth building her nest

It was really quite a project and she put little pieces of leaves on the outside the camouflage. If you didn’t know it was there you wouldn’t be able to see it.

2. I know

I just happened to find a tiny nest in my Burberry bush. Birds love to nest in that bush.

3. They will use hair, their own feathers and cotton fluff

if it's available. It sounds gross, but when I clean my hair brush (and I have long hair) I toss the "hairball" into the open dumpster outside so birds can use it.

4. I would think that human hair would be nice. My hair is soft and thick so I'd donate it from my hairbrush to the birds!

5. I do too.

I also put out yarn bits and leave longe cut grass on one side of the house where my compost bin is. When I had my dog I'd brush him outside and leave his hair.

6. A scene from Malcom in the Middle

The dad, Hal, was really hair, and his wife, Lois, would take him outside to do some "manscaping" with clippers. Malcom was sitting, talking to the camera and a fluff of Hal's body hair landed by him. Before he could say "Eeeew", a bird swooped down and picked it.

Birds also use their poop as cement to hold their nests together.
