"False Knees" is a rather well-known webcomic by the talented Canadian cartoonist Joshua Barkman, which showcases an enchanting blend of humor, surrealism, and astute observations of the animal kingdom, and well, birds, for that matter.

Presented through illustrations with a soft color palette and delicate lines, the comic stands out for its personification of wildlife, offering humorous and highly relatable scenarios.

It's cute, but birds still shouldn't get thread or wool into their beaks for nest building. Our thread is strong, the babies could get strangled

And birds, depending on the species, will reuse old nests and needing sites from previous generations, so they're better at recycling than us

every morning i'd see robin beat a wing. over to the newly planted tree to which there was tied a piece of string that every morning he tried to tug free. one day, help i thought i'd bring. cut the thread to some degree. now every morning robin beats a wing to play with string on a different tree. ( i really thought he wanted that string for nesting, but it was his pull toy that i ruined. ) Gang aft agley.

Ironically, crows but especially ravens are very afraid/cautious of new things. They absolutely do NOT like surprises.
