It has steel reinforcement
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.
I didn't know pigeons were capable of this judging by their usual performance
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.
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 / rock doves). This is objectively the best pigeon nest I've ever seen by a country mile.
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.
Which is amazing since pigeons are usually kinda shit at making nests:
It's not that they're shit 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.
They should just lay cube eggs smh
That would be really fun to push out I imagine
Ask the wombats how they do it.
Look I have been saving up my evolution points for a square anus or a cloaca: how much is a square cloaca?
Normal anuses (and I guess cloacas too) could adjust to squares with little effort, issue would be the square eggs.
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.
That motherfucker has it figured out!
For real, I think I found my new financial planner
Why use lot stick, when few stick do trick?
I had one in my 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
This nest probably took half as long to build too. The sticks never fell 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.
A lot of young pigeons aren't learning proper building techniques and it's really a shame.
Anti-pigeon spikes and sturdy conveniently located nest weaving starter spikes have a lot in common
We are all this pigeon.
we can be bees
That's a mud dauber nest. No Bee
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.
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!

Next you're going to tell me there's an SCP doc about it
our work has a collared dove that has done that
your work has it? aren't there laws against that?
Nah, you can own pigeons. My dad raised them when he was young. He got started by blindly reaching up under overpass structures and grabbing a handful of them. Once he had babies he hand raised them and he could let them out and they'd always come back home.
More of your dads pigeon stories please!
Reject government control. Tell em to suck it, and be ready to back it up.
Reject modernity
This is the most self defeating use of power I have seen since the last news story about US foreign policy I read
