Which is amazing since pigeons are usually kinda shit at making nests:

It’s not that they’re ahit at building nests, they’re just built to a different spec.
Pigeon is another name for rock dove, so named because they live on rocks, instead of in trees. Arboreal birds have to build their nests to cradle their eggs so they don’t fall out of trees. Rock dives just need enough stuff circling their eggs so they don’t roll away.

Explains why they adapted to life in human cities so well.

Pigeons make nests wherever and with whatever they can find. They make the worst nests but also the best.

Why use lot stick, when few stick do trick?

I had one in mg previous house that build its nest on a ledge no bigger than an inch wide and everytime she laid an egg, it splattered on my back porch.

You can clearly see how they exist cuz of us by the fact that we shitted their survival instinct

Anti-pigeon spikes and sturdy conveniently located nest weaving starter spikes have a lot in common
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This best probably took half as long to build too. The sticks never feel off, they fall at structurally sound angles and the tension as they stack allowed for less sticks to be used to achieve the same height.

This guy pigeon nests.
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A lot of young pigeons aren’t learning proper building techniques and it’s really a shame.

We are all this pigeon.

That’s a mud dauber nest.
The chillest ‘wasp’ there ever was.
They have absolutely zero parental instincts. You can smash that nest right in front of them, and they won’t even blink. 😐

Further proof that birds aren’t real. The anti bird measures don’t work anymore because the titanium alloy the replacement birds were made of is impenetrable.

I don’t often see the rare “birds used to be real” take on this matter.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s the entire basis of Birds Aren’t Real.
The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century, all of these real birds were replaced with surveillance drones designed to look just like Birds. To simplify- Birds no longer exist in the U.S. as a biological lifeform, thus, Birds Aren’t Real!

Reject government control. Tell em to suck it, and be ready to back it up.

This is the most self defeating use of power I have seen since the last news story about US foreign policy I read

That’s the sturdiest pigeon nest I’ve ever seen, by a long shot.

It has steel reinforcement
buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah I think in a fit of irony the anti pigeon spikes made a perfect structural scaffolding for the pigeon to build the ideal nest.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I didn’t know pigeons were capable of this judging by their usual performance
wieson@feddit.org 2 months ago
This is not a rock pigeon as you usually see in the cities. This is a wood pigeon, they live in the countryside in pairs of two. And are chunky.
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Yeah, I’m out in the sticks and have loads of them in the countryside around mine. Their nests are usually just as shit as what we call feral pigeons (rock pigeons). This is objectively the best pigeon nest I’ve ever seen by a country mile.
Redjard@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Oh so the reason rock pigeon nests are so bad is that we took all the rocks from them so now they can’t build.
