Australia's Stupidest Bird?

[Ed Williams <>]

Hi all,

 

Recently a Spotted Dove has been trying to build a nest on one of my plastic 
drainpipes in the backyard.  Every time he comes over and puts a twig onto his 
nest site he knocks the previous one off.

 

I'm sure that alone wouldn't make him the stupidest bird in Australia - but 
today marks the TWELTH WEEK that he has been doing this!

 

I have swept up countless piles of twigs and sticks from underneath that would 
have made a Golden Bowerbird proud...

 

Can't fault his persistence - but three months in he still only has one twig to 
show for it.

 

Surely a contender for Australia's stupidest bird?

 

Cheers all,

 

Ed
