Hi All. I've been browsing your forum and gained some info from others in similar situations to mine, however mine is slightly different. Any and all responses would be greatly appreciated.
I manage an apartment building here in NYC and a window was left open in a vacant unit. The former tenant didn't return keys for several weeks and a pigeon (I've only seen one adult) took this as an opportunity to enter and build a nest ON TOP OF THE STOVE in the kitchen. The eggs have hatched and both young ones appear healthy (one's actually quite feisty, leaping up and clicking when approached!).
Obviously, in this business there are time constraints. I am under much pressure to move the nest but both myself and my boss are concerned for the safety of the chicks (sic?). If I move them to the roof (one floor up) will they be abandoned and starve? Will I frighten them to death? We're pretty lost here.
Thanks to everyone for your time.
Patrick
