Feathered High-Rise Developers
Who needs trees when you have got telephone poles? Near Upington in South Africa, sociable weaver birds are showing off some serious ingenuity. Photographer Dillon Marsh captured these clever birds in his ‘Assimilation’ project, where they’ve turned sparse man-made poles into bustling bird condos.
It is a quirky twist on wildlife meets urban planning—no real trees, no problem! These birds weave their homes from twigs and grass, creating cozy community nests. Marsh’s snapshots are a fun peek into how nature adapts, making the most out of what’s around—even if it is a telephone pole. Sometimes, innovation flies on wings, right?
