Can birds become quilters?

Okay, this is the bird that made me think it's possible to have birds learn to quilt. I know what you're gonna say, It's ridiculous.... but look at him, he's in the 'nesting' mode... and I was in a 'creative mode'.

And the thing was, he was making his nest out of 'Lipton Iced tea' scraps off the plastic bottles (we live near a landfill-- don't worry, not too close).

So I started snipping fabric, very thin....

and hung it in the crooks of the shepard hooks, and the bushes....

Okay, okay, well, when you stop laughing, may I tell you that a week later, the 'strings' are gone and they aren't on the ground under the places I put them. I hope I helped keep them warm....
