I, having the opportunity to talk/phone and email many
wild bird rehabilitators, can also personally vouch
for magpies, magpie larks and the odd and a very
unusual pelican pulling fur from the top of my head?
Long golden locks wrenched from my cranium, the longer
the hair the safer for birds.

I remember grey fantails pulling fur off our very old
and slow golden retriever to build their nests, and
they'd even have a shot at my own hair if I stood
still long enough.

Oooh oh please be careful Lainie or Philipa will most
certainly pull you up on this? Dog's have hair not fur
