Description

This pigeon has built its nest among the spikes intended to deter it. I only had a moment to snap this one shot (hence the lousy resolution) because my bus was about to leave the station. I’ve seen this nest be active for 2 years now and I look for it every time I’m at this station.

What I love about this is how the pigeons have prevailed in spite of human intervention; their ability to adapt to even the most challenging conditions and their powerful urge to nest trumping all and any obstacles.

Pigeon Nest Among Bird Deterrent Spikes

This pigeon has built its nest among the spikes intended to deter it. I love how the pigeons have prevailed in spite of human intervention and their ability to adapt to even the most challenging conditions. It never ceases to amaze me how the powerful urge to nest trumps all and any obstacles. P.S. Can you tell I'm a pigeon lover?

    Pigeons are pretty stubborn birds!

  2. People don’t like it when all of their whitewash drips down the buildings.
