When sky becomes a death trap to birds...

We agree that cotton strings are safer than nylon not just because they are biodegradable but because they break more quickly, but that does not mean it won't hurt the birds. The reality, though, is that any form of kite flying hurts birds because they are fragile beings.

It's deadly for thousands of pigeons, crows, owls, endangered vultures, and other birds, who are often wounded or killed when they become entangled in the strings.
