just be sure that the threads are cut into short lengths-1-1.5 inch so they don't get wrapped around the legs. I toss em in a bag and hang out in the spring also. birds love em

I love that idea. I used to teach at a school near a ravine filled with all sorts of birds. The kids would cut up wool scraps and hang them on the fence each Spring for nest building. I love this idea and am going to steal it. I now teach in a more urban setting but we could put the onion bag in a tree and the kids could watch for birds out the window. Thanks for the great idea.
