What a cool finding! Eurasian Scops owls bring live worm snakes to the nest, and snakes feed on insect parasites in the nest, therefore increasing owl hatchling success! 🐍↔️🦉 #ornithology

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉
