I read about someone who put out only metallic fabric, gold and silver. They had a hard time spotting the bird's nests and wanted to be able to bird watch easier - so the gold and silver fabric made the nests easier to spot and enjoy watching.

It isn't just the eating. If you have a string long enough to catch on a tree limb, the bird is also in trouble. It could get wound around a leg of even it's body and it never could get loose. I say this happen when a lady hung washed fabrics on the line to dry and a bird found it was a lot of fun to unravel the thread. Fortunately we were ab le to unwind the bird and safe the life.

If you do this be careful there aren't any long threads which might entangle the birds. We rescued a bird once that had become tangled in some thread and the thread had disabled his wing until we removed it.
