Let’s go back to that Discovery Cove thing in the aviary when that bird landed on my Dad’s head. For a second I thought that the birds land on every mans head and pick of one piece of hair from each, and then make a giant nest that’s like two feet long.
Now I realize that birds probably just use twigs and branches to make there nests.
Here is like a list of what birds can and can’t use for there nests that I found on the Audubon website:
Okay | Not okay |
---|---|
Twigs or small sticks | Human hair |
Grass clippings | Yarn or string |
Small pieces of straw | Dryer lint |
Leaves and other yard waste | |
Native plants |

This follow up story is very interesting. Interesting bird nest info. That’s a great picture of your dad. The birds really like him. I look forward to reading your blog every week.
