The bird lived on Mana Island for almost three years, and spent every one of those years trying to win the affection, or at very least the attention, of the inanimate fake birds placed there by conservationists in an effort to repopulate the island, The Guardian reported. Although Nigel likely hoped to win the friendship of all the fake birds on the island, there was one particular fake bird that truly won his heart, his concrete sweetheart. Nigel spent years completing mating rituals in order to win over his lover. He even built a nest for her and tried his best to groom her, The Guardian reported. Nigel never did woo his stone lover and his dead body was found next to her, Gizmodo reported.
