I feel like the egg really sells it though.

I should have anticipated this reference, but honestly, being puzzled for a moment before getting it enhanced the experience.
I do miss the sub dedicated to stupid pigeon nests.
Be the change you want to see <3
I haven’t found any. :(
I am generally anti bulk imports from Reddit, but if there were a /r/stupiddovenests mirror I would make an exception.
We bred pigeons to carry message for us by providing them shelter.
Evolution is a bitch sometimes.
That’s one guess. Here’s another:
https://www.sciencing.com/1810624/why-pigeon-nests-look-horrible/
There is an old adage that says, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” and pigeon nests are the perfect example of this philosophy in action. Even before humans urbanized much of the world, pigeons were never big nest builders; they utilized natural roosts, favoring pockets in the sides of cliffs. With the rocks providing ample area to roost and incubate eggs, all the pigeons needed to do was to place a couple of twigs around the egg to keep it from rolling away. As cities grew in the wake of industrialization, pigeons adapted to use concrete structures in place of these natural cliff roosts, still sparing them the effort of building a complex nest.
Huh, TIL, thanks
Homing pigeons are a different species.
And extinct from what I understand
You might be thinking of passenger pigeons (which are a different species and extinct), homing pigeon is just a name used for any rock dove/pigeon that is bred to return home after being released. Same species as feral pigeons.
and then there is the pigeon in my backyard that won’t accept the corner is too small. Everytime it brings a new stick the previous falls down. i have a pile of sticks in my backyard, an elephant could comfortably put it’s egg’s in for fucks sake
My spirit animal
Is there barely anybody left online who’s able to string up an intelligible sentence?
