@laminda that's so interesting, thanks for sharing.
I just checked the link. If you don't have an account, Twitter now lets you see the first tweet but not the answers. Not ideal to see a thread. I'll check the paper 😊

@laminda That makes me want to go steal a bunch of anti-homeless benches.

@laminda @Akki The most surprising thing about this to me is that the spikes in the photos aren't covered in pigeon feathers from when they've been calmly lying on them.

@laminda That's so metal!

@laminda The animals are showing us the way!

@laminda That is a *hilarious* form of resilience. That made my day. Also: "Be ungovernable" #goals

@laminda Corvids are the absolute best!

@laminda
A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes. @ct_bergstrom

@laminda

Proof once more that corvids are wicked smart.

@laminda Life finds a way—Dr. Ian Malcolm

@laminda that is so punk rock. I freakin love it!! 🖤🖤

@laminda This made my morning better 🥰

@laminda @ScienceDesk Rooks rockin’ it and crows catchin’ up! ♥️

@laminda Go birds!

@laminda so nice that the paper is available! Nature is amazing and surprising, always! Thank you very much for the share!

@laminda
Fuck humans. JFC☠️

@laminda Way to go, corvids!

@laminda
I'd love to read the thread, but Twitter is being stroppy....
Any chance for a non Twitter source?

@laminda This is the best thing ever

@laminda the equivalent of using the wrong formula but getting the right answer

@laminda so much badass in such a little body

@laminda

Those are some badass nests. Amazing.

@laminda
#Corvids are the #Orcas of the #Bird world. 🥥

@laminda yeah, those birds are truly metal & punk...

@laminda

They're corvids. It's just a matter of time before they start developing them into weapons.

@laminda as if we needed another reason to love corvids... :) #corvid

@laminda Calling someone a birdbrain is a compliment 😈

@laminda this is fantastic

@laminda The famous dutch fuque toi bird aka fuckus chirpus... 🤣

@laminda An avian "fuck you" if ever there was one...

@laminda smart birds

@laminda leave it to the crowd to find a workaround🐦‍⬛👑

@laminda i love this so much. there's such a literary metaphor here.

@laminda this goes well with the observations of cockatoos ripping those anti-bird strips out and tossing them over the side.

@laminda If there is something that makes me happy… this is it.

@laminda corvids are terribly smart. They will rule the world when we humans have offed ourselves

@laminda European corvids are one up on Australian sulfur crested cockatoos who were ripping anti-bird spikes off a building and chucking them at people https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/05/chick-flick-cockatoo-gives-anti-nesting-spikes-the-bird-in-viral-video

@laminda I loved this quote:

"We should not deter birds, we should embrace birds and live together with them,” said Moeliker. “These birds are very smart and they always find ways to cope with the harsh urban life. I’m very sympathetic towards these crows and magpies. They are my heroes.”

@laminda

Perfect. My new favorite bird.

"Life finds a way." And sometimes flips you off in the process.

@laminda I was privileged to witness this glorious moment in person :) These little legends spent over an hour demolishing these spikes and dropping them onto the pavement, street, and pedestrians.

@laminda cc @nytpu cool birbs

@laminda Outsmarting corvids is a losing game.

@laminda
Love it!

"Be ungovernable"

The 'system' is placing human equivalents of pigeon spikes all over the place to keep us worker bees in place. We should learn from corvids...

@laminda "The street finds its own uses for things"

@laminda nature is healing

@laminda Tired: become ungovernable.
Wired: become like crows.

@laminda yes yes yes!!!!! Go Corvids!!!! This has made my day, thanks for posting

@laminda I love this! thank you 🙏

@laminda anti-bird spikes, in a tree, this is a whole new level of wrong

@laminda

@laminda

Anarchist Corvids for the win! 😉👍

@laminda Just as William Gibson said, "The street finds its own uses for things"...

@laminda
Leave it to the corvids to turn hostile architecture into something useful and beautiful. Rock on corvids!

@laminda Corvids are amazing.

@laminda As Sting sang in "King of Pain": "That's my soul up there."

@laminda JFC, I had no idea there was such a thing as anti-bird spikes. 🤢 We spend lots of effort making our garden be about the birds! Go go go you subversive corvid beauties!

@laminda Good for odin's messengers

@laminda absolutely magical. Go birds!
