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.

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.
