Fake spider webs dangerous to birds? El Paso Cty + CO

[linda hodges]

Greetings, all,

Would you please speak up if you' have any information as to whether the fake, white, stretchy, acrylic spider webs seen around Halloween are potentially damaging to birds?

While I've not been able to find any reports from birding orgs, there's concern by citizens when it's strung over shrubs or trees.

Your thoughts?
