What's the most peculiar place you've seen a bird make its nest?
It’s Autumn in the Southern hemisphere (Spring time in the Northern hemisphere), and I get fascinated by a lamp post near me that some birds have been using as a hand-me-down for a decade now.
Don’t know if it’s weird but I saw a cute pigeon trying to make a nest on the Metrolink Ticket Machines.
The thing is the machine is kinda not against a wall and a little slanted , so when I got to the platform there were twigs all over the floor and a poor nest on top. I tried to do a solid and put some twigs on the box to help.
On my balcony. We had enough problems with how unsanitary pigeon make their nest so we planned on not letting another one being build this year. We took out every pot, every object we had and break every morning the little stack of twigs they would make on the corner of the balcony only to waking one morning and to find out an egg was laid next to one single twig!!
At our old house, we had pigeons make a nest in a little space just under the roof, next my bedroom. Sometimes when I was trying to take a nap during the day I’d hear pigeons cooing and hear their chicks!
Not peculiar but it was fun watching them failing to build their nest at the top of the tree in front of my balcony. The wind blew everything down immediately, it was like a slapstick film. They tried for a week but never managed to fix more than a few sticks and those are gone by now too. Hope they found a better spot.
In an empty wasps nest hanging from a house. I even saw momma bird come feed the kids. It was really cute.
Around here we seem to be lucky with our wasps. We get a new nest every year but they never bother anyone. One year they were in the ceiling right above the entrance of an old barn we use for storage. Was fascinating and eerie hearing them crawl around and work.
One of my coworkers left his car parked in his driveway for so long that a pigeon made a nest between the windshield and the windshield wiper, just right in that little space where it comes together with the hood.
Long time ago I saw a pigeon build a nest on a window sill, a place where there was nothing to anchor it to. They even laid two eggs before a storm hit and blew the whole thing away. :( Tho it was a pigeon nest and they are famously bad at building…
A buddy had this 1 pigeon attempt to build a nest on his balcony every year for the 4 years he lived there, right where the water would pool, he named the pigeon Fish. Nest never looked like a nest
A couple of seagulls made their nest in the cooling vent for the radiator of one of our backup generators. I caught it on our security cameras and mentioned it to management which resulted in folks being dispatched to evict them and clean up the giant pile of sticks and other junk they had dragged in.
Not sure what would have happened next time the thing started, so it was probably for the best. I still felt bad.
