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.

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
