On my runner rug on my balcony. Some pigeons found a couple twigs, laid them on the ground, then lay two eggs. Those chicks were born there and stayed until they were able to one day fly away. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2b4be5fd-87f2-43c0-887e-398f5b3be51a.jpeg

I wish there was a shitty bird nests community on the fediverse you could crosspost that too. Talk about low effort.

Not peculiar but it was fun watching them failing to build their nest at the top of the tree in front of my balcony. The wind blew everything down immediately, it was like a slapstick film. They tried for a week but never managed to fix more than a few sticks and those are gone by now too. Hope they found a better spot.

Must be a competitive market

The weather was probably much nicer when they chose this spot. You could see them arguing over it. I wish I had it on video.

One of my coworkers left his car parked in his driveway for so long that a pigeon made a nest between the windshield and the windshield wiper, just right in that little space where it comes together with the hood.

Man between this one and rug guy I'm just thinking that pigeons are not very good at this whole "nesting" thing

A couple of seagulls made their nest in the cooling vent for the radiator of one of our backup generators. I caught it on our security cameras and mentioned it to management which resulted in folks being dispatched to evict them and clean up the giant pile of sticks and other junk they had dragged in.

Not sure what would have happened next time the thing started, so it was probably for the best. I still felt bad.

On the anti-bird spikes. In the one small place I put them so that a nest wouldn't be right at my door and mama bird would try to attack my toddler. Seriously, no spikes a few feet away, you'll be fine. Nope. I know it's instinct or something to nest in a certain place each time, but come on.
