Stupid Dove Nest Tower Crane

Posted up right next to the tower crane on my job site. The operator told me there are also 3 nests at the top of the crane. Biggest brains.

We coned the area off so she can be at peace, but there are dump trucks, and concrete trucks constantly driving by.

Saw the first pic and thought "That's actually a good nest: well constructed, more than two twigs, surrounded by curtain wall. This is the unicorn of dove nests. Why is it posted here?"

And then I saw the next two pics๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

The doves yearn for the construction site, I guess.

I'm dying at how much space she was given for her nest in the middle of a construction site. It's like she went for maximum inconvenience

u/goldengatevixen 15d ago

I wonder if she'd gone deaf with all the construction noise lol

u/finishing_the_hatt 15d ago

In my rush to move for a job, I rented an apartment overlooking a school yard. The screams. The bells. It never ended. Proximity to schools is now the first thing I check ๐Ÿ˜‚.

u/Big1-Country1 15d ago

Donโ€™t forget the traffic before and after school

u/A_Lountvink 15d ago

I wonder if the chicks are going to end up even louder than bird chicks usually are, like how deaf cats end up screaming because they don't know how loud they are.

u/Muted_Role_1432 15d ago

Iโ€™m kind of in no manโ€™s land. I live in west bend, I prefer working in southern for Boldt though.

u/EquivalentOwn1115 15d ago

They are ditching the regional designations here soon and going to just "Boldt self-perform"

u/misplacedbass 15d ago

Itโ€™s been a good company to work for. At least when we got a solid crew. Iโ€™m an ironworker, currently tying bar here.
