I assume the source of the twine is bundles of stock feed that have been cut

Bailing twine is a problem in Canada particularly with Osprey. They weave it
into their nests and often leave lengths hanging down. There are quite a few
cases of them becoming entangled in their own nests.

this type of thing is common?
