I knew about fishing line, and that there's lots of it out there because it 
never degrades. I didn't think there'd be anywhere as much kite string. Does it 
degrade, or is it synthetic?

Twine, I don't know. Kite strings and fishing line, too common.

Many of these injuries are fatal because animals get caught in trees and 
starve, or the injuries caused by the loss of blood circulation are either 
fatal of themselves or leave them unable to live in the wild.

Birds like pigeons, magpies, Ibis and other ground feeding birds are vulnerable 
in cities. Obviously by waterways all birds are vulnerable.

Well done. I didn't know baling twine was that dangerous. Can anyone tell me if 
this type of thing is common?
