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.

@randahl it also shows that nature always adapts and finds a way, regardless the fibre pollution we have to clean up

So true! In the treeless wastelands of Australia eagles make nests out of barbed wire & site them on the top of electricity poles. Sad that these & Ukrainian birds have had to adapt but they do. 😐

@Su_G @ErikJonker @randahl In contrast to barbed wire or the laundry hangers used by Japanese crows, I fear the risk of ingestion is much larger here. Nevertheless, the image shows the masterly skilfulness birds apply when building their nests.
