They are really well hidden and silent, didn’t even realize for two days after i came back from my holidays. I already knew this pigeon couple from before my holidays (was gone for two months), they are like the regulars in my garden.
This is the father sitting on the eggs. BTW I had made this mess deliberately to keep pigeons from trying to breed there, it seemed to work while i was at home i guess. Hope when the little ones hatch they won’t fall into any gaps there.
I tried to call the local bird help, if maybe they would swap the eggs for fake ones, but i could not reach anybody, they have too much to do this time of the year and i reckon pigeons breeding on a balcony ain’t no emergency either.
First one hatched today. Both parents just flew away for a minute, but now pops is back for his shift.
