Uhhh... remind me to not leave out any project boxes in my yard. I wonder what kind of bird moved in?! (Radio Shack project box intended to house a pole mounted Radio project). #nest
@ai6yr mourning dove? They tend to make messy “nests”.
@TransitBiker Too small... there are two mourning doves living in the yard here, though, no idea where they are nesting!
@ai6yr they are the worst nest builders. I’m legitimately surprised they’re not wiping themselves out from shoddy nests & cracked eggs/fallen chicks.
@TransitBiker Mourning doves were handed very few brain cells in life, I am convinced. Quail, also.
@ai6yr @TransitBiker Thinking about it, is that really that bad?
@ColesStreetPothole @ai6yr yeah it is. Their nests are often comprised mostly of just random piles of sticks. The nests don’t do very well unless they are up in a dense coniferous bush where the nest has more support and predators can’t really get to it.
@TransitBiker Sorry, I meant the having very few brain cells bit. I think it would make life a bit easier to bear right now.
