鸟类也会像人类一样精心装修自己的“家”？它们不仅会建造巢穴，还会用各种材料装饰巢穴，甚至利用羽毛的恐惧感来保护自己的领地！

黑脸鞘嘴鸥：南极的艺术大师
生活在南极的黑脸鞘嘴鸥，竟然会用贝壳和干植物装饰巢穴！它们不仅精心挑选贝壳，还会将贝壳正面朝上摆放，展示出独特的“艺术品味”。这些装饰行为究竟是为了吸引配偶，还是宣示领地？
园丁鸟：自然界的建筑艺术家
雄性园丁鸟不仅会建造精致的“求偶亭”，还会用花朵、贝壳、玻璃碎片甚至人类丢弃的硬币来装饰巢穴。它们的装饰行为是否可以被视为艺术？它们是否具备审美意识？让我们一起探索园丁鸟的“艺术创作”背后的科学意义。

羽毛的恐惧感：鸟类的“凶宅”策略
鸟类竟然会利用羽毛的恐惧感来防止巢穴被侵占！研究发现，鸟类对巢穴中的羽毛表现出明显的恐惧感，尤其是白色羽毛。这种行为是否与人类对“凶宅”的避讳有异曲同工之妙？科学家们通过实验揭示了这一现象背后的奥秘。巢穴装饰的多重功能

从吸引配偶到宣示领地，从展示个体能力到加强伴侣关系，鸟类的巢穴装饰行为远比你想象的复杂。
