See 'double digging' thread! ;-) But you could always put them into those
netting bags bird peanuts come in and then hang them up in spring. The
birds will probably grab them for nest making.



I do that in the spring with the fluff from the tumble dryer. If drying
the Vet beds (sort of artificial fleece) then there's also dog hairs in
it and it appears to be prized by a variety of birds.
