This is honestly heartbreaking: scientists are finding plastic baler twine in almost 90% of white stork nests in Portugal, and it's killing chicks before they can even fly. Chicks are getting tangled, injured, and sometimes dying in these plastic threads—it's not just storks, either. Ospreys, raptors, and even sparrows are getting caught up in this mess across the globe. It’s a wild reminder that our plastic trash doesn’t just disappear—it can turn into a death trap for wildlife. #Science #PlasticPollution #WildlifeProtection
