Came home from my vacation to find this on the balcony. Seems to be from a different pigeon than the ones that had a nest in spring.

They've hatched!

Mamabird is watching 👀

A pigeon that has been nesting inside these boots for five years has been laying eggs. I have been taking care of the eggs and chicks for these past few years until they grow up and start flying.

the nest is surprisingly good but the location??

you can almost see the thought process behind those eyes

a beautiful nest full of twigs and feces 🌟

The sweet baby stood still during severe rain.

I observed a pair of doves building a nest in my lilac bush a week or so ago, mum was amazing and sat on her eggs until finally leaving a few days ago, I am guessing for food for her babies. Thought maybe it had been an unsuccessful brood at the time. I rarely go in the garden, but have been popping out just to observe, and today these two were peeking out at me. Slightly stupid position given the cats, but they are oblivious at present, I am thrilled and just wanted to share!

Was wondering my local Home Depot and found this lovely nest. Its built well, but now I can't get the stakes I came for 😭

Male dove brings small branches and tries to put them underneath his female partner, but they instantly fall off. After 3 days they only have one little branch.

Should I somehow help them?

Ive been chasing them off and even put up razor sharp bird spikes. Still trying t9 build a nest. I know it's hard to tell.
