Hello there, Newbie! welcome to WDC
This is a Simply positive Review.
Yes, the animal world does have its mix of opportunist, awaiting another creature's back to be turned, to take from them that which was not earned.
The poor nest builders must have extra energy and crafting powers that the other nasty birds do not have, because nature usually balances things out in the end. I know of one breed of birds that is even more cruel, it is the Cowbird. That bird actually lays its eggs in another birds nest. It leaves them to be hatched and raised by the unknowing "parents." That bird does not need to worry about building a nest at all, nor does it involve itself in the raising of its brood. This was a fine observation into the unfairness of nature. It does expand beyond humans, but humans have the brains to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong, but may choose the wrong path nevertheless. A bird may have an instinct of survival that requires the use of another birds building materials so their brood could survive. It probably isn't as contrived as that of the human.
Good philosophical piece.
