Woman Buys Dove With 'No Nest-Building Skills' a Pre-Made Nest-and It's an Instant Hit

Last year, the Rose family had a dove set up shop on their front porch, but to say her construction skills were lacking would be an understatement. According to the family, the nest barely held together, the babies kept falling out, and the whole situation was stressful for both the mama bird and the humans trying to help.

So this year, when the dove returned to nest there again, Mom decided to step in with the perfect solution. She bought a pre-made nest on Amazon so the bird with questionable nest-building skills could settle in safely. It's the perfect example of working smarter, not harder.

We laughed when the Rose Family replied, "OMG, that's so sweet! Guess I need to buy those nests in bulk, LOL!"
