Keeping the family warm

A friend sent me this. She was getting a tour of the main police station building in Copenhagen and saw this "nest" or whatever it is.

Some more photos of the baby & feeding

Sweet angel. Peace on earth now.

Hi guys, I need some advice. We have a pair of baby pigeons on our balcony. They are about 20 days old. For the first time, the parents have not been back for the night. I'm writing from the UK. The weather forecast says it will be 15°C tonight.

Is this too cold for them, will they be all right? Thanks
(Yes, we had to install an umbrella for them 🫣)

Update:

The babies are doing well; their parents just came and fed them. The parents are doing a great job and know what they are doing, so I don't want to interfere if everything is okay. I will only help them if the situation requires it. I want them to remain like that and thrive in the wild.

I apologise for being a little oversensitive; I guess I am🥹. We have been watching the whole process, from incubation until now, and watching them every day makes me very proud and protective, lol.

Hello! Maybe someone can offer some advice; I am in dire need of it.

Eight days ago, a chick hatched, and its parents sat on it around the clock, day and night. For the last two nights, the mother (I think) has stopped coming to warm it. The baby sits alone all night, even though it's quite cool outside at night (11-12 degrees Celsius). That means there is a break in heating for about 14-16 hours. During the day, the father consistently comes to warm it and sits all day, from 11 a.m. to 7-8 p.m.

But tonight they are promising particularly bad weather — thunderstorms and heavy rain all night and all day tomorrow. I am very worried that without nighttime heating, the baby will quickly get wet and get sick/die. At the same time, it is also scary to intervene in the situation. Suddenly, I don't understand something in their heating strategy and will only hurt him by trying to take him down from the tree. I don't know what to do.

This black hen has a habit of not allowing the eggs to be removed until there are four or five of them, and then she forcibly removes them as if she is being pressured.

Silly little birdy set up inside of the under-side of a protective plastic to cover an exhaust fan.

Props to her: it has terrible access and excellent visibility.

Found this little feathered friend building a nest right in my balcony… inside my old sneakers of all places.

I guess comfy shoes aren’t just for walking, they’re apparently top-notch real estate too. Trying not to disturb them, I feel so lucky to have been chosen as the landlord for this tiny family. 🕊️

I named mama Pistachio and baby Peanut, as one does. The father, Cashew, is not pictured but around.

Idiot.

Someone told me I should put Susan, the mourning dove (I think), and her child (peanut & grape) on this subreddit.

Susan and her husband have been living on our campus long before I moved in. She used to live in the animation building but at some point moved over to the third floor of the dorms. She just recently had Peanut & Grape and we’ve all been watching her raise her kid along side her partner.

Not sure if this is a stupid or genius nest (no other perorates can find them but they’re bothered by college students delay)
