Hi all=2C
=20
I seem to remember hearing or reading a warning once against using very fin=
e-meshed synthetic bags as feeders=2C specifically the ones onions come in =
(?) because people found small birds were getting their toenails (!) snagge=
d and then were unable to break the fibres to free themselves.
=20
Anyone else recall this? Pretty sure pantyhose and toenails would be a bad=
combination!
Cheers=2C
