One day, a sick hospital in Antwerp noticed a very strange nest in a tree that bristled with a thorn and. Upon closer examination, it turned out that this is a magpie’s nest, outside the department of plastic spikes. A magpie stole them from a hospital airport where they were supposed to scare away birds.
Scientists from the Netherlands Center are studying the biodiversity of Naturalis and the Rotterdam Museum of Natural History and are covering a number of similar cases in Estonia and Scotland. Birds deliberately collect materials with special spikes to keep their owners from going broke. Previously, they used branches with thorns, scraps of barbed wire, and now they began to break off and, first of all, replace spikes with fences, which are especially characteristic of birds.
It seems like a joke, but such unusual nests can be seen at the Natural History Museum Rotterdam. Plastic spikes are light and easy to use, the birds specially attach them so that the spikes stick out naturally and in all directions. Except forty active sightings and crows.
