It’s unfair to call them shitty, rock pigeons make nests on flat, stable surfaces, and are tended to by both parents in shifts, so all the nest needs to do is prevent the egg from rolling away when they get up. The nests are perfectly suited to purpose, it’s us humans who are imposing unfair beauty standards for what a nest “should” be.

Nope. If you look it up there’s serveral instances of rock pigeons making “nests” like this, it’s legitimately just a thing they do specifically.
Yeah, it’s pretty bad:

These birds are known for being terrible nest makers. But maybe you’re on to something, maybe they don’t realize they’re pregnant until it’s too late.
Bird needs to invest in some family planning
