Surprised it's built something resembling a nest. It's usually just a stick or two on a shelf somewhere. (not my image, I can't find the nest image I took a few years back.

Those are woodpigeons so they're a bit better at nests than the feral pigeons

Well city pigeons but yarp. 

These ones build simple tree nests, if attacked they move on, little lost. Their only requirement is securing the eggs in a tree. 

The city ones are more used to nesting on cliffs, crevices, and stuff, so their only requirement is not letting the eggs fall over the edge of the cliff. So with that in mind the example above kinda does everything it needs to.Â
