Now that's interesting.
Have they identified any specific aesthetic traits that are involved in what makes a nest more attractive? I figure it must be a difficult thing to test, but I'm now very curious about convergent evolution of aesthetic tastes.

It was a wildlife doc I saw, I don't remember any specifics of the aesthetic beyond colour choices, composition and layout. Though this particular species tended to go for concentric rings.
