JUST OUT! 😺 A book on #cats that steal! 🐈 Yes, all these socks and pieces of underwear were looted by felines. 🧦 Photographed by Anne Geene and with text by me: "Behind their mask of whiskers sometimes lurks a true criminal, ready to commit the purr-fect crime." A tread! 🧵 Of course, any cat may be classified as slightly rebellious, occasionally stealing food from the table, but some can’t resist the urge to thieve and become frequent offenders. 👀 Here we document a case of kleptomania in cats, let's call them 'klepto-cats'. 😈

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. 🧵

Ever heard of 'evil architecture'? 👿 Take for example benches that cannot be slept on, pins to prevent skateboarding or anti-homeless spikes. Here we talk about the avian equivalent: anti-bird spikes. Nasty metal spikes to stop birds from perching or nesting.
