I dig up the entire plant, including the substantial taproot, when I see the
big heart-shaped leaves, well before the burrs form. Then I leave it
upside-down to dry out & die, or in a pile of other plants I’m pulling out,
again with roots in the air.

At Salt Pt we discard whole burdock plants & burrs cut up in big garbage bags.
Don’t want the things we cut out to seed elsewhere!

Burdock is one of the non-native invasives which I actively eliminate from my
property for this reason. But it’s not just small birds and big burrs which can
be a problem. I once rescued an exhausted Gray Catbird ensnared in a stand of
what I think was Virginia Stickseed, a native plant.

We cut out all burdock we find at Salt Point, Lansing.
I have found some here at Kendal to cut.

So good of you, Sara. This happens all too often. I came across a goldfinch
several years ago, stuck fast in the burrrs of a burdock along the East Ithaca
RecWay (near Game Farm Road). Sadly, by the time I came by, it had perished.

So glad you happened along and rescued him. Small birds getting caught in
noxious weeds as they’re foraging for the seeds is a know hazard. Lucky for him
you came along.
