        It’s weird to think that if our architectural tendencies leaned towards pyramids we’d probably have a goat problem about as bad, goats just randomly hanging out on the sides of buildings lol

    city pigeons are descended from rock pigeons which in nature breed on the ground on tall cliffs and stuff, they don’t really build proper nests. This is part of why they thrive in cities, since tall buildings are a perfect nesting opportunity.

      Yeah, they primarily used cliffs with sheltered nooks before they were domesticated, so as long as they don’t roll off the ledge who cares

    I destroyed repeatedly a pigeon nest-in-building because of a nasty experience I had the previous year. These determined little birds lay a egg during the night next to A SINGLE BRANCH!
    Latter they layed a second eggs unfortunately it has rolled over the edge of the balcony because of that.

    Crazy birds…

    If the egg hatches successfully who are we to judge 🤷

    Pigeons’ nests aren’t made to keep stuff inside, they just need to prevent the eggs from rolling off.
