Birds weave nests from drone fiber-optic cables in Ukraine

Birds in Ukraine have been observed weaving nests from abandoned drone fiber-optic cables. The nests were photographed by Oleg Malchenko after a Russian glide bomb damaged a tree in Donbas. The cables, used to tether drones in warfare, now litter battlefields and are being repurposed by birds. The material may provide thermal insulation, aiding survival in harsh conditions. The finding highlights wildlife adapting to war-induced environmental changes.
