Default Mild steel wire for Yagis

I plan to make a 6 element Yagi for FM reception at about 100 MHz. I
would like to use 1/8 diameter mild steel wire for the parasitic elements.
I have absolutely no experience with mild steel for antennas, but thought it
would be more bird tolerant than the copper wire model I made.
I'd sure appreciate hearing from anyone who knows about mild steel for
"VHF" antennas.
