I was disturbed to see a squirrel choked with a plastic bag in a nearby park. Anyway, after much struggle, the pure critter got rid of it. Polythene as we know are nuisance.
I agree entirely Emma, but the birds don't discriminate. I picked up yards of discarded fishing line at the lake last week - so many birds come to grief when their feet get entangled in it, but I've also seen birds use this as nesting material.
I found one like this recently too - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/894... I actually think it is quite ingenious how the birds use what we throw away as nesting material!

Yes Seema ,it is disturbing. Happy to know that the critter got away.

But Karen , Plastic is so bad for wild life. I really wish people would stop littering plastic!
