I have been rather puzzled about how crows are able to manipulate multiple wire hangers into just the right position while I have trouble when only two hangers get entangled with each other.
Now all is explained. It is entirely possible that crow cerebrums are bigger than mine.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

Ah, I was wondering that, too. I watched the magpies weave their nest in the birch in front of my building. Magpie nests are storm-resistant structures with a floor, a roof and sides, and it amazed me how they know to get every twig in the just the right place.
I have been thinking about that off and on ever since you first posted the photo of the nests with lots of hangers in them. But it still doesn't answer the question of where they get the hangers from??
