Horse Hair ?

[Outlaw Pete 2,224]

Any of you guys provide horse hair, for your birds nesting requirements? I mean shed / combed out fur, obviously. Not yard long mane or tail hairs.

never tried horse hair ive always used the coconut fibre

the local populaion picks up all the dead hair that i rake out of the dogs daily, when i bred a few birds i would empty the tumble drier filters at the local football club

Birds in the wild use it loads but i myself would never use it due to it tangling around chicks feet and i got given a redpoll last year that had this problem and she lost a couple of toes due to it,it's amazingly strong and a bird has no chance of freeing itself of it if tangled.

i used to get an old hessian sack, cut it in 4" squares the pull it into strands

and peg it to the cage fronts

I've never used horse hair but the terrier donates his coat to the birds in the summer

Cheers, lads. I had a dog who shed lovely fur. Sadly, he's long dead now.

 

I have this horse who's hairy as f**k though. She's shedding sack loads just now. Two or three inch long, I'd guess, individual hairs.

 

I rake her over, maybe every few weeks. Just because. And, right now, I'm having to put the shit in a sack. Otherwise, I'd end up wading in it!

 

 

One side of my hairy horse, given a swift rake off. That's a size 9 boot. Is there no charity I can donate this stuff to? It's like that Irish lad's shot another goat.

 

Hair.

Oh god; The f**king horse hair!
