That's the sturdiest pigeon nest I've ever seen, by a long shot.

    It's not that they're shit at building nests, they're just built to a different spec.

    Pigeon is another name for rock dove, so named because they live on rocks, instead of in trees. Arboreal birds have to build their nests to cradle their eggs so they don't fall out of trees. Rock dives just need enough stuff circling their eggs so they don't roll away.

    This nest probably took half as long to build too. The sticks never fell off, they fall at structurally sound angles and the tension as they stack allowed for less sticks to be used to achieve the same height.

    Anti-pigeon spikes and sturdy conveniently located nest weaving starter spikes have a lot in common

    Further proof that birds aren't real. The anti bird measures don't work anymore because the titanium alloy the replacement birds were made of is impenetrable.

    I don't often see the rare "birds used to be real" take on this matter.

    That's the entire basis of Birds Aren't Real.

    The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century, all of these real birds were replaced with surveillance drones designed to look just like Birds. To simplify- Birds no longer exist in the U.S. as a biological lifeform, thus, Birds Aren’t Real!

    This is the most self defeating use of power I have seen since the last news story about US foreign policy I read
