Birds and other creatures have been trapped and died in outdoor Halloween decorations such as fake cobwebs; here is a message from the RSPB;

“In the run-up to Halloween, the chances are you’ll spot spooky-looking spider web decorations draped over garden hedges and dangling from doorways. Although they’re fake, these webs can catch real-life prey. That means birds and other wildlife are at risk of getting tangled in the fibres, so they’re best to avoid.Instead, try hanging them inside your windows for an equally creepy display, without the risk to wildlife.”
