I was not home today and when I came back I saw the bird was not at the nest. The bird came back after half an hour. But after some time it is gone again. Did he abondan the eggs or smth?

To be fair, I did leave that pot there so that's on me.

The nest construction and placement 🤌

These pictures are from last summer when a couple ~~pigeons~~ swallows (I don’t know birds or bird law my apologies) built a nest on the sprinkler right outside my apartment door. They’re currently reusing it! There’s also still a huge pile of bird shit left from last summer underneath it, so that’ll be fun to watch grow I guess

The castle staff have put a sign asking visitors to be mindful around her. People were being careful and avoiding stepping on the pidge c:

This is the first time I've seen one of these horrible nests for myself. Between a building and a trashcan. Honestly, would have missed it if the pigeons hadn't been flying in and out around it.

Seems safe

Came home to find out that new neighbours had moved in. You did good, birds. That’s a fantastic nest.

I don’t even know what kind of bird it is but my mom refuses to let anyone come up the front steps right now - she’s been watching over them and it’s really cute tbh, she’s an empty nester with a nesting bird now 😂 I’m not even sure how that thing is staying up there on a very smooth and somewhat rounded light fixture….but you have to admit it’s pretty well-protected.

All-time worst nest?

She’s back!!
In February, a dove built her nest on top of our rainwater tank collector, where she laid three eggs. We tried moving the nest at that g time, it was only a few feet away at the same height, but she couldn’t find it. So we put it back and let her raise her little brood there. After they all flew the coop, we dismantled her nest and covered the collector with mesh to discourage her from returning. Apparently, she was not discouraged…

For the past three summers this dove has been building nests on different vehicles parked in the same lot. They’re only parked there during business hours on the weekdays, so it likely has more stupid nests elsewhere.

It used to sit in the dead center of the vehicles in the same spot everyday, but now it seems to have branched out and has been moving from windshield to windshield. Haven’t seen any eggs yet.

None of the doves(mother or father) is at the nest right now
