Back in the 1960s my family was on a camping trip in Yosemite. We were excited to see a bird's nest over our campsite and looked forward to watching the little family for a week. But it soon became evident that mama was tangled in something. She would try to fly off but was tethered to the nest by a string or ribbon. We alerted a park ranger who said, That's nature; leave it alone. We and other campers were quite distressed by this and finally, to everyone's relief, another park ranger climbed a ladder and freed her. Thank you for freeing Biddy! It's not always in an animal's best interests to intervene, but sometimes it's just obvious.

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thank you for that 😁

I don't understand why us humans can always interfere in bad ways, but helping is so often frowned upon. You can build a parking lot, but not feed animals starving during a unusual winter

[@Bullshitvol2]

Yarn and string is probably a lot less hazardous than human hair. At least it is possible to untangle these materials. Try to untangle long hair from a brush. Pretty much impossible. It is also a lot stronger than yarn and string. Tensile strength of hair is even stronger than steel.

Lesson learned. I have disposed of hair from my brush thinking a bird would make a nest out of it. I never thought of it being a danger. After watching, I will NEVER do that again. It makes me wanna cut it up into tiny pieces before throwing it in the trash can just as an extra precaution.
