The war in Ukraine has now gone on for so long that, birds in the Donbas region have adapted and are using strains of Drone control fiber optic cables to build their nests.

A post from Ukraine claims that this half-finished nest was found after a tree fell during a Russian glide bomb bombing.

Let us make it our goal, that our children will inherit a world in which birds once again build nests out of twigs and stalks.

The back of a left hand wearing a brown glove supports a bird's nest made of thin, white-ish fibre optic cable, which makes the curvature of the nest. The nest is seen from a side view Within the nest there are also some straight, light beige pieces, about 50-mm long (2 inches), 5-mm wide (25/128 inches) and 1-mm thick (5/128 inches). The uniformity of the light beige pieces suggests that they are part of the fabricated cable. What appears to be green grass in the top view is not obvious Tall grass, trees, and a dark wire chain-link fence are in the background.

The top view reveals what might be some strands of green grass and a thinness which suggests that the nest is still under construction. Tall grass is in the background.

Added. Thank you.

@randahl @Ralph @RuthODay2 Isn't it on the back of the left hand, rather than on the palm of the right hand?
