Can gum kill birds?
I've heard both yes and no. Some say that yes it can kill a bird because it could choke them. There is also the rumour going around that says if a bird does eat gum it can stop them from digesting anything else and cause them to slowly starve, however there isn't any proof in this yet. Others say no because gum has ingredients that is used in repellent for birds so why would they be attracted to it. There are even some who say that bird's have sometimes used gum to build nests. So who knows maybe it can and maybe it can't. It might even depend on what type of bird. I've seen a seagull swoop down and try to eat a piece of chewed gum before spitting it back out. I have many friends from Greece. They have told me stories of their childhood and one in particular is of the birds who eat the gum from the gum trees that grow abundantly in Greece and yes they use it for nests and play.
