Nesting birds untie my string

Does anyone else have the problem with sparrows untying jute string? I have watched them tugging away at the string when I have tied in clematis and roses, they are very persistent.
I decide to offer some help to them,saved all the 'off cuts' and spent a few hours shredding each of the strands to make them soft and fluffy for nests. I then put them, along with some cotton wool into a disused feeder. The birds love it and now leave my clematis/rose ties alone.
It is amusing to see little birds fly off with a great beakful of nesting material - like flying Father Christmas'

I find tying in my plants very soothing.

I very carefully made a nice little bunch and hung it from a tree. Result ? - a year later and the bunch was untouched - unlike my liners
