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. 🧵

For those wondering, yes we have Anopheles mosquitoes in many parts of Australia that can transmit #malaria parasites. We’ve been declared free of the disease but there remains a (very small) risk of local transmission (see our paper on risk to NSW phrp.com.au/issues/volume-19…) 🦟 – at Temora, New South Wales
