Hi Tom,
My understanding is that dryer lint is not recommended for bird nesting material and is potentially harmful. I am including a link to a helpful article about appropriate nesting materials from Cornell: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/providing-nest-material-for-birds-dos-donts/

We hang dryer lint in a wire cage and I’ve seen Anna’s plucking link twice in the past week. I would have thought that nesting season was over by now, but maybe not?
