I knew that Ravens and Crows liked shiny objects but never expected to find out that Bearded Vultures also liked collecting odd things. For those of you who are interested in things like this, below is a link to the article I am referencing. I hope you find it as fascinating as I do.

I was aware some critters collect things with a human association and it is always interesting to read about, and even better, see first hand. What hadn’t occurred to me was the part about how nests (or dens, etc.) could “act as natural museums”. Yeah, that should be apparent as same could be said for many environments/locations, but I just hadn’t thought of a birds nest being suitable for long term preservation nor as a place people would look. Thanks for sharing Lyn.
