Used for laying eggs and sheltering the little ones, bird nests vary in shape, size, and type. While some feathered creatures opt for a simple scrape nest by creating a shallow depression in the ground, others weave intricate ones out of twigs and other materials.

The latter kind often builds their engineering wonders in the most unusual places. They occupy everything from helmets to car parts, swimming suits, and even traffic lights; people have pictures to prove it. We’ve gathered some of them in this list today, showing no limit to their creativity regarding nesting locations. Scroll down to find the pictures and enjoy.

To understand bird behavior better and learn more about their process of building nests, we contacted a professor in the Biology department at Dalhousie University, Andrew Horn. You will find his thoughts in the text below.

“Different species choose differently, of course, but the common elements are safety from predators and access to food. For most songbirds, safety from predators calls for a well-hidden nest in a place that’s hard for predators to climb to,” Andrew Horn, a professor in the Biology department at Dalhousie University, told us.

The Celebrate Urban Birds project also pointed out that the places birds choose and the nests they build differ depending on the species. Some even have different roles for male and female birds in finding the best spot and building a nest.

For instance, mourning doves typically opt for a tree, but it’s the male’s responsibility to locate the right place, which the female must approve. When it comes to hummingbirds, for example, the female builds the nest without help from the male counterpart. This species usually also makes them in trees but might also choose bushes or a more exciting spot, such as a loop of chain or wire.

According to the Natural History Museum, a woodpigeon is another species that shares the workload of building a nest: the male bird brings the materials. At the same time, the female piles it on a somewhat scattered platform and then uses it for laying eggs. Woodpigeons typically lay two eggs, each of which is then incubated by the two birds.

Even though they might be used as permanent homes in some cases, nests are primarily built for laying eggs, incubating them, and raising the young. Birding Outdoors revealed that these living beings lay eggs all year round, but April, May, and June seem to be the most active months; they lay as much as 86% of eggs.

The Natural History Museum pointed out that some birds, such as house martins, build their nests from mud and often do it on people’s houses, attaching them to the roof and the wall.

“Homes often offer places like eaves, holes (e.g., drainpipes), and raised but flat surfaces that are like natural nest sites, but scarcer in the wild. Also, the activity around the home can offer some protection from predators (apart from cats!),” Professor Andrew Horn explained.

Prof. Andrew Horn also discussed with us what is the best course of action upon finding a nest in an unexpected location on your property. “If there’s no eggs or nestlings in it yet, and it really can’t be there, then you can try moving it to a better location and removing the nest material every time it reappears until the birds give up and nest somewhere else” he said. “Once the nest has eggs or nestlings, it’s illegal to disturb it. If possible, avoid the nest area, don’t linger near or look at the nest, and hopefully, the birds and you will get used to each other. The birds will only be nesting for a month or so.”

The lament of me and those who don’t know enough about pigeons. This is a beautiful nest for a pigeon, precisely how they are meant to build nests. This is not “they don’t care about their chicks” (really? Of course they care about their offspring!); this is “pigeons are not tree birds, and people should stop thinking that the actions of tree birds apply to all birds.” They are cliff birds.

The eggs are on a solid surface and surrounded by twigs to prevent them from rolling off; this is the nest you will get from any cliff bird. Now it’s weird being on a concrete floor, you think? Please understand pigeons and think they are stupid because the cliff bird doesn’t do tree bird things in an environment we forced them into. Pigeons are domesticated animals; urban pigeons are feral, not wild. They are working with their instinct in a place we moved them to be because pigeon keeping became “unfashionable.”

In addition to living rent-free on the homeowner’s property, winged creatures sometimes use artificial materials. The Natural History Museum uncovered that birds might add debris and other bits and pieces to their nests to strengthen the structure, decorate it, or repel ectoparasites.

Depending on the species, birds build different types of nests. According to AZ Animals, they are categorized into cup, platform, burrow, scrape, mound, cavity, and hanging nests. The first one is arguably the most common in the bird world and in pictures showing the most random places birds choose to set them up.

It is believed that the majority of birds do not reuse their nests. All the effort of building one typically goes down the drain once the birds and their babies abandon the construction after the nesting period. They start the intricate process all over again next season.

Some birds, however, skip the process of building one altogether. They find a place to lay eggs that don’t require construction or leave their unhatched babies in other birds’ nests. Bird Gap uncovered that the list of such species includes the Emperor Penguin, Common Potoo, Indigobird, and Common Cuckoo, among others.
