Cavity-Nesting Flexibility
Core lesson
New doors open for the one willing to make a home where others see only gaps.
Biological basis
Jackdaws are social corvids that nest in cavities such as cliffs, tree holes, chimneys, ruins, and buildings. Their flexible nesting habits help them live close to human structures as well as wild places.
