That's my main problem with outside drying, too many birds overhead. Also sometimes you can get a wasp or spider caught in the material of the clothes while drying and get an unpleasant surprise when you put them on. During the summer I dry a lot of stuff in my greenhouse as that time of year it is too hot for and empty of plants.

I always though an ideal clothes dryer would be a Trombe wall built with enough space between the glass and the wall to walk in and hang your clothes. The heat and humidity would be vented outside during the summer and inside during the winter. This would avoid the drawbacks (rain, birds, and bugs) of outside drying while costing no energy and heating the house in the winter.
