Interesting observation, Jessica.
I have known for years that some birds use animal hair to help make their nests.
This time of the year many larger mammals need to shed their thick winter coats. I have watched birds collect patches of hair that have fallen to the floor or are caught on trees or low reaching branches. Sparrows grab it from barbed wire.
Maybe in our new type of fields with no rubbing posts, the Jackdaws, being clever crows, have learned to collect straight from the horses mouth, ( or cattle’s back ) ?
