Do not do this. We did it last year with our dog who sheds a lot and has super long hair. Mama bird started building a nest with it and I walked out one day to see to baby birds hanging dead outside of the nest because they got entangled in the hair, it was pretty gruesome.

You can collect some smaller sticks on a pile when you are storing wood outside.

Birds have been gathering fur for nest building purposes for thousands of years. I think something else was at play.
