Seems to have all sides covered to prevent rolling away, anything more is just fluff.
“It works and I know enough to say I could finish it if I want to, so I’m done here. On to the next thing!”
I love how that pigeon looks half head-empty-but-proud, and half “I know, I know” in that last panel.
“oh shit, this egg is coming NOW and I didn’t make a nest. Better rush one!”

Nope. If you look it up there’s serveral instances of rock pigeons making “nests” like this, it’s legitimately just a thing they do specifically.
Yeah, it’s pretty bad:
It’s unfair to call them shitty, rock pigeons make nests on flat, stable surfaces, and are tended to by both parents in shifts, so all the nest needs to do is prevent the egg from rolling away when they get up. The nests are perfectly suited to purpose, it’s us humans who are imposing unfair beauty standards for what a nest “should” be.
These birds are known for being terrible nest makers. But maybe you’re on to something, maybe they don’t realize they’re pregnant until it’s too late.
Bird needs to invest in some family planning
I just think they are neat!
I feel personally attacked
My favourite subreddit was r/stupiddovenests.
There’s a c/stupiddovenests on lemmy.world although it is a bit quiet
That’s really good to know! Thanks!
The nest is either never completed or it is done in half the usual time with perfect symmetry and sub-millimeter accuracy.
There is no in between.
Nest, by IKEA.
