Smh my head, people will see a guy thriving with his milk bottle caps and claim he's a barbarian for only having one cloth peg. Let birds enjoy things.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowerbird

Bowerbirds (/ˈbaʊ.ərbɜːrd/) make up the bird family Ptilonorhynchidae. They are renowned for their unique courtship behaviour, where males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly coloured objects in an attempt to attract a mate.
