Latest development in the Rogin garden (for those lucky enough to hear about the hedgehog on the thon) is a wood pigeon who has been building a nest in a tree out the back. Now, it clearly hasn't been on bird zoopla to realise my cats will be out and about. I'll do my best to help it.
But my main question is how the hell do they know how to do it? A wood pigeon's brain must be about the size of a pea. How are they able, with no experience, training or guidance, able to source and select the materials necessary for a nest, and then carry out the intricate construction of one, when I would struggle to make a rudimentary fort out of the cushions from my sofa and a sheet?
