Your excerpt made me read the article. For those who haven’t or just don’t want to read it, ducks aren’t the only “crazy” birds. Crows and Magpies have been using these spikes and other dangerous human liter as defense from predators. What type of dangerous liter you might ask?

In 1933, a South African museum reported a crow’s nest fashioned from hard-drawn copper, galvanised iron and barbed wire. Nails, screws and even drug users’ syringes have all found their way into birds’ nests.

Some have even ripped metal off nearby factories to build their nests. These birds are on another level.

If you are expressing your emotions through writing I’m sure that’s considered as journaling. Sounds like a very interesting et up though I’ve never been able to get into poetry writing, it’ difficult to get a rhyming scheme going for me. I hope you feel welcomed in this community as it grows and share some of your poetry!

Hi, thanks for your post! I really appreciate the kind words. I was honestly surprised there wasn’t a journaling type community already made when I first joined and it took a lot for me to decide I should just make one. Working on some stuff at the moment to try to get some engagement up soon so stay tuned!
