This Weed Very Dangerous for Hummingbirds !
Burdock Arctium spp.
I've heard of Goldcrests (kinglets) trapped by it, but it is a very rare occurrence.
Resin
Gosh, I'm glad we haven't seen anything like that here. Thanks Pelle.
Burdocks are not dangerous for people, but are annoying so keep them clear & h-birds won't suffer.
We have a lot of that up here...but I think the Hummers are gone by the time the weed gets to the bur stage. I picked a bunch of me today after my walk...hard to get off dogs that's for sure.
Wow....never would have thought.....
oh, i hate that stuff.
