A tiny bit of comfort in all that plastic, at least it look cozy

WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER THROW THEM AWAY?! Seriously, how is it that hard to throw away the bit you cut off?

Aw that is sad. I set up a little building supply shop for the birds in my garden

We're all OO that birds have trash in their nests meanwhile, Mr & Mrs Bird patiently sought out each and every ever single cable tie to build their nest.

Like, for all we know, black cable ties are seen as sleek and sexy decor. White cable tile nests are sign after by birds into minimalism. And nests featuring bright colors like red, green, blue, purple, and yellow are so popular with the hip party birds

Every year, without fail, there will be birds trying to steal the nylon strings I use in my tomato trellises. They've actually been rather durable so I've been reusing them for a few years. I have to double knot the lowest level so they can't just yank them out.

I actually also use some reusable zip ties in the garden and I have to be careful not to leave any unused ones laying around as I had noticed a couple moved or even disappeared the next day.

This looks like something from the birds version of game of thrones.

This is a Pigeon's work. Laziest aves when it comes to building a nest.

Gulls just plop it on the ground. And kamikazes anyone within 30 meters of it. Why fortress when you can attack?

Seagulls are another cliff nesting species

The beaks on those babies are more crow-like to me.
