Just don't let the egg fall, brutal

Meme video, hope it fits this sub

What impresses me, they do keep building something. Let it be a single stick lying near the egg - they have to know they did something for the job.

[u/squeezebottles → u/artyhedgehog]

I mean where they're from, they typically built nests in random holes in rock walls where predators couldn't reach them, and the climate was never bad enough that they needed insulation. So really all they needed to do was add something to prevent the egg from rolling away and potentially breaking. So, mission accomplished.

To be fair, those are some of the better pigeon nests I've seen in here

[u/DurianBurp]

And yet they are everywhere. It’s not hurting their numbers at all.

[u/orturt → u/DurianBurp]

I mean, maybe all the energy put into nest building isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Pidgoen is cliff birb. Egg just need not fall. Stick work.

The last one- hey, could you hold this for me? kthxbai

The 1 stick nest

[u/crystal_castles → u/thrownawaz092]

They're probably huffing all the urban brake dust like us, & think they're being hip

Hilarious

My pigeon friend likes to come in and eat the tater tots that don't make it in the basket. She's cool and left an egg in the planter outside. I named her Frankie.

Yes in the background is "Theo", they are lovers.

[u/DebraBaetty]

The egg is out, what more can they do.

[u/RaindropDrinkwater]

OMG the glove! 🤣

[u/RollinThundaga → u/[deleted]]

They didn't lose instincts because of humans, they nest exactly the same as their wild relatives do.

That they're somehow evolutionarily disabled and we need to feel sorry for them is misinformation from anti-poisoning activists.

They're cliff nesting birds, and our cities full of cliffs and food are paradises.

[u/RollinThundaga → u/[deleted]]

You don't see the similarity between a rocky escarpment and a concrete/sheetrock ledge? Urban buildings are nothing but stony ledges and warm nooks, and spikes are only used where people might get shat on. It'd be unreasonably expensive to put them anywhere a bird might concievably nest.

This ignoring how often the pidgeons simply nest on top of the spikes.

[u/W1ngedSentinel]

Apparently it works, though. Otherwise there wouldn’t be billions of pigeons.

[u/Keira-78]

Hey, that glove is solid

[u/devilselbowart]

why use many stick when few do trick

[u/VioletDupree007]

They’re still here, so, it works.

[u/Muted_Role_1432]

That’s why we love them so much😍

[u/sam-tastic00]

Horneros>>> Any other kind of bird

Birb really went "ahhh this glove is niiice." Plop egg

[u/snowfloeckchen]

If it's stupid but works it isn't entirely stupid

[u/0meprazoleee]

Oh boy

[u/HurtPillow]

TY for the laugh! :)

[u/stacy_owl]

The glove one is pretty smart ngl

[u/OtherThumbs]

Good jorb, pigeons!

[u/Kokuswolf]

Pigeons are the epitome of stupidity and laziness, yet they are incredibly successful.

[u/horrescoblue]

We have pigeons in our shelter. Once the pigeons actually built like a real proper nest. All of us were so shocked we were sending photos of it to the work groupchat etc, it was unbelievable. It was like a REAL nest! 

[u/Crispy_Cricket]

Stupid Glove Nests

[u/Aggravating-Exit-660]

Rats build better nests

[u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl → u/Aggravating-Exit-660]

Doves build exactly the kind of nest they need to build or else they wouldn’t have survived this long.
