If real money hadn't actually change hands because of this "research," I'd be laughing. This is just an excuse to play with a drone. The "researchers" decorated the nests themselves then asked other humans if they could spot the difference from the aerial pictures. No actual birds were involved at any time. Ridiculous!

Research paper: Decoration Increases the Conspicuousness of Raptor Nests
