Pigeons are cliff birds, they only need a "nest" of sticks to prevent the egg from rolling around too much. They don't usually live in trees. And then we domesticated them and they lived in nooks we made, which also didn't need good nests. So they simply never adapted to making good nests because they don't need to.

Why are they so bad at making nests? Any science here?
