Birds in Ukraine have been observed building nests using discarded optical fiber cables, a byproduct of drone warfare. These nests, found after a Russian glide bomb destroyed a tree in Donbas, are made from the spun-off insulator material of these cables. The repurposed fiber likely provides thermal insulation, offering warmth to the birds in the harsh battlefield environment. This unusual adaptation highlights the ingenuity of wildlife in repurposing human-generated debris. AI
