So um, I really thought that nest-building would be like a strong instinctual skill, the way that like, baby mammals know how to nurse or whatever. Corvids in particular are immensely intelligent.

But the jays worked on their #PunkBirdsNest starts most of the afternoon and seemed to keep getting 2-8 twigs in then knocking them off the beam.

I mean, I would NOT be good at building and balancing a nest either so no judgment! I'm just surprised it seems as hard for them as it would be for me.
