**From Tweets to Treats: An Ancient Artifact Made from a Bird's Best Friend (Its Bone)** [Bird bone artefact from the Late Eneolithic/Early Bronze Age site of Zók (Hungary)](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oa.3209) Scientists have found a very old artifact made from bird bone at a site in Hungary. This is a rare find, because bird bones are usually too small and thin to be used for making tools or objects. The artifact is shaped like a tube and it's not exactly clear what it was used for, but it could have been a musical instrument like a flute or a handle for a needle. This bird bone artifact might have had a special meaning because the people who lived in the area at that time liked to make objects that looked like birds.
