It occurs to me that there is another one like this at a library in the Midwest - I'll see if I can find it ... :)

It may be that this is where the birds like to nest but the ledge itself isn't safe, so they have fabricated a safer one. Many of the older buildings built on campus here and similarly aged/designed buildings elsewhere in Winnipeg will have ledges that slope to help keep water from collecting and damaging the building - that can be a problem for eggs and chicks. By building a box that uses gravel, they can replace the gravel when it gets nasty and they can insure the gravel doesn't get scattered around or off the building. It would be interesting to see what the nestbox looks like from the outside and how it fits into the architecture.

Interesting nest shape indeed!
