"When we opened a box supplied by museum curators, our research team audibly
gasped. Inside was a huge Australian magpie nest from 2018.
It was more than a metre wide and made up of the strangest assortment of items,
including wire coat hangers, headphones, saw blades and plastic 3D glasses — a
mix of detritus reflecting our modern lifestyle.
This was one of almost 900 Australian nest specimens dating back over 195 years
that we inspected for our recent, world-first study."
