UNLESS you are using a flea treatment for your pet.

In that case; make sure you dispose all the brushed fur, because it will kill the bird's younglings.

Our dog is on anti flea/heartworm medication. Does this make her fur toxic as well?

I wouldn't have thought about this, it's an important warning.

It's usually only the topical treatments that pose an issue. You can always check with your vet to be sure.

Dryer lint works too. Put it in one of those net bags and hang it in a tree.

Dryer lint is largely tiny plastic fibres from your clothes so please don't do that

So nicotine and cig butts aren't toxic but flea treatment is?? I'm honestly confused. I've heard conflicting info my whole life lol, nicotine repels pests but pest repellant kills??
