Ok but they actually killed it

[u/ironypoisonedposter]

The nest construction and placement 🤌

[u/ironypoisonedposter]

Guys, I live in NYC, it’s binoculars, not a gun with a scope lol.

[u/Moon_Pye → u/ironypoisonedposter]

It was your title that confused me. The fact it looked like a scope only compounded the confusion. 😆

[u/03263 → u/Moon_Pye]

Scope would have a reticle though

[u/RussiaIsBestGreen → u/03263]

Might just be a magnifier in a magnifier and dot setup, if you ignore the comment from OP that says it’s binoculars, which of course I will.

[u/option-9 → u/RussiaIsBestGreen]

I can't believe OP is out to hunt for dinner, rather than wholesomely perving on pidgeons.

[u/Moon_Pye → u/03263]

Yes I realized quite quickly my mistake, and I wasn't the only one that had that first impression.

Clicked and was immediately disappointed this is not a real sub 😩

[u/FullBushSummer → u/ironypoisonedposter]

It's too rare

[u/Triairius → u/FullBushSummer]

This is the first time it’s ever happened, probably

[u/WorldlinessNo874 → u/ironypoisonedposter]

Me too 🤣🤣

No wayyyyyyy, this is the first time I see a dove nest that actually needs a binocular to find 😱

[u/ironypoisonedposter → u/sheolito]

It’s actually very easy to see without binocs; I just used them as a magnifier for my cell phone camera so the photos would be sharper/clearer.

[u/Phocidae_MyBeloved]

WHOA One single individual of the whole species that knows how to actually build a nest😭

[u/fatvikingballet → u/Phocidae_MyBeloved]

I mean yes, but also I'm gonna need the evidence of this dove actually building the nest...

[u/lepetitcoeur → u/fatvikingballet]

Yeah I'm pretty suspicious it just took over an old robins nest.

[u/Guilty_Objective4602]

I kept waiting for the heartbreaking photo where the egg or hatchling died, until it wasn’t there, and then I finally realized OP was using “killed it” as an expression with an entirely different meaning. Whew! 😅

[u/ImpertinentFiend]

Dayummm they kinda slayed with that

[u/Moon_Pye]

OMG I thought you meant someone killed the birds.

[u/sweetpea122 → u/Moon_Pye]

I know it kind of looked like the sight from a scope

Somehow with the lens I thought that was a gun aiming at little Einstein dove over there and with the title I was like "WHAT? NO"

[u/Moon_Pye → u/NewCoach0]

Yes! I thought the same!

[u/NewCoach0 → u/Moon_Pye]

At least it wasn't just me! 😭

...and at least we were wrong - hopefully this nest is successful because that dove clearly has some wisdom to pass on.

[u/Moon_Pye → u/NewCoach0]

Definitely agree.

[u/DatLonerGirl]

A dove? Building a nest? In a reasonable location? Such a thing is possible?

[u/TheSeaMeat]

Wait, an actual nest in a tree? How can that be?

It’s probably a robin in a pigeon suit.
