Grannynannywanny do they give any reason for doing it?

I must have too much time on my hands today. I’ve just googled and this has been an ongoing nonsense for a few years.

There are online communities ( one of the them aptly named Sad and Useless) who share photos of bread they’ve stapled to trees. They even take the time to toast some of it ?

Esspee, really cheered me up, ta.

But what sort of stapler goes through wood ? Do you walk round with a commercial stapler in your handbag .....how ridiculous

Let's hope this doesn't start a craze for hanging other things on trees. It will do no-one any good.

I wonder if it’s the same folk who hang plastic bags of dog poo on trees

How can you staple onto a tree ?

Sounds like an experiment - think of the most idiotic thing, post it on social media and see how many people will do it too!

Bad for the trees, bad for the birds, probably bad for any other unwitting creature not to mention ugly.

Rats must love it!

What nonsense and dangerous nonsense at that. Bread is bad for young birds.

It just seems to be one of those ridiculous things that people do who have too much time on their hands:

Isn’t bread a staple food? ?

What on earth is this about? Some weird random thing spreading over the internet.
