The dog hairs I put out are fine for birds.
My dog is a Labrador (quite a mad one), and the hairs are only about 4cm
long and also waterproof.

where we had a glorious Spring day today, and I did a lot of gardening and
feel my old bones!
In addition to April's warning -- Embroiderers' Guild of America members
discussed this decades ago, and at great length.
Some people were putting their yarn orts (scraps) out for birds to
collect
for their nests. Bird lovers weighed in. It seems that many threads
(wools for needlepoint and knitting, etc.) hold a lot of moisture when
wet and
take a long time to dry. It was reported that nests need to be dry, and
the making of them from dry grasses, weeds, and twigs is safer for baby
birds, because the natural materials dry quickly. (I can also imagine
that tiny
feet could get trapped in loosely-spun yarns.)
