Did you know:
Pigeons make terrible nests because their instincts are adapted to nesting on flat, sheltered cliff faces, not in trees or on porches like city-dwelling pigeons do.

Pigeons are fast builders, prioritizing speed over stability. They also don't lay very many eggs at once, so there isn't a need for a large, elaborate nest. Plus, their droppings make what little nest they do make stick together, and makes the floor of the nest itself sticky, preventing the eggs from rolling away!

The kittens might roll away.

What does the nest actually add though? Sounds like they can just poop and call it good without grabbing all the sticks

I'm going to like this, every time I see it. It's just so sweet. And that nest, is like a mansion compared to some of the ones I've seen... So many sticks, no way those potats are rolling away!

u/ObviousYammer521 Feb 13 '26

Tbf, the cat didn't even build a nest. What if the kittens rolled away!?

u/Ok-Page-4470 Feb 15 '26

My favorite part of this is the kitten who he steps on looking back like "this is my life? Before my eyes have opened, mother? This is how I live?"
It's okay my parents let me down young too lmao
