My aunt had a Samoyed who would lay on her front porch every day because he liked to people watch. All the neighborhood birds would swoop down and pick out his fur and use it to line their nests...every bird's nest in the neighborhood was lined in white. They really like it.

And the sweet thing is the Samoyed would let them :)

Very true, he was a really sweet and laid back dog.

Getting the loose fur out might've felt nice too

Same thing with my Newfoundland. Birds would swoop down and pluck hair off him. He would chase the birds barking lol. When I had trees trimmed there were old nests we found that were at least half fluffy Newfie hair!

Sounds dumb in text form but this comment really improved my day with a happy thought. It will live rent free in my head for the day.

Me too. I have a white chihuahua who sheds like mad but as she only weighs 2.1 kg I doubt I'll ever see that from her.

it's prolly not the same dog, but there is a video of a bird stealing a sammy's loose fur! it's super adorable 🖤
