Can birds choke on human hair?

It's unlikely that a bird would choke on a single human hair, but it's possible. Here's why:

* Hair is generally too thin and flexible to pose a significant choking hazard.

* Birds have a strong gizzard that helps grind up their food, making it less likely for a single hair to become lodged.

* Birds are very good at spitting out things they can't swallow. They often do this with things that are too large or too difficult to swallow.

However, there are some scenarios where a bird could potentially be affected:

* Large amounts of hair: If a bird ingested a large clump of hair, it could potentially cause digestive issues or block their digestive tract.

* Hair mixed with other food: If hair is mixed with food, it could become entangled and make it more difficult for the bird to swallow.

* Young birds: Young birds may have smaller throats and weaker digestive systems, making them more susceptible to choking hazards.

It's important to keep in mind that while a single hair is unlikely to cause harm, it's still best to keep bird feeders and surrounding areas clean and free from potential choking hazards.
