Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke... A thread. 🧵

Now I can (almost) finally announce an exciting update in my bio. Please watch this space closely. We'll be hiring soon! Have ideas for working on bats in India and don't know where to start? Write to me! I'd love to support your work :)
