We all know how much oil hair can soak up and the best part is that it can be washed and used again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-32818715386974042452008-04-18T06:47:00.000+01:002008-04-18T06:47:00.000+01:00Hi Ticklytoes - it's amazing that having composted...Hi Ticklytoes - it's amazing that having composted for about ten years I'd never thought about composting hair. Great tips about the birds. I know what you mean about the chair, I think I'd have to commission one using my own hair rather than someone else's. Did you know the Victorians made jewellery with hair? There used to be a fine display at Nottingham Castle.<BR/><BR/>Hi Keth - Thanks for joining in with the ideas. What a great idea for birds, especially in urban areas where there might not be many other resources for them to use for nesting. I now wonder what Zoos use. If there's a zoo keeper looking in let us know.<BR/><BR/>Hi Ruby - Mr Ruby's nail clippings.

In nesting season, we sometimes hang clumps of hair in net bags in the garden for birds to use as nesting material - it never hangs around long, so some birds must have a use for it!<BR/>Not sure I fancy a chair made out of human hair though lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
