It depends on the situation, the topic, and even the person; words don’t have hard-coded meaning. For example, for me:
So at the end of the day, perhaps it has to do with planning? At least for me. Man-made things aren’t just the result of human activity; they’re the goal of said human activity. That may or may not apply to what your wife was talking about, depending on the context of what she said - those nests are not the goal of human activity, unlike your house.
