BD, I think this person is already getting the right information - to leave the area and allow the parents to come back. You're doing such a great job catching these posts!

[BirdDogg10]

thanks a lot there was another one but it was deleted. I think I may have posted it here.

[Nosferatu09]

Hm for computer problems I can recommend googling "Advanced Windows Personal Care" from IOBit, it has done wonders with the computers I've used it on and recommended to -friends and the sort- so give it a shot hopefully it'll make it easier XD

please post an answer before somebody else says somethin' stupid...

BD, sorry, I just saw this. If you would, go back and tell this person to remove the nest IF they ARE NOT setting eggs already. If there are already eggs in the nest, add that it would be kinder to let them finish raising the babies. After the eggs hatch and the babies have left, they can remove the nest and continue to remove any more they may build. Also, let them know that there is no more danger from getting a disease from a pigeon than from a dog or cat.

You might put in a link to our forum and tell them they can get a lot of good advice here.

This is just my personal comment to you about this. We don't know how heavily traveled that stairwell is and the part that bothers me is some ill-natured person might hurt them just out of meanness. I would always hate to destroy eggs that are viable but I also worry about the parents being hurt by hateful people so I'm torn between saying just remove them anyhow.

Thanks again for keeping tabs on this kind of thing.

No problem, I replied to the question and gave the link to the site, so maybe that user will come here.

My answer:

Sounds like you've got some new neighbors, if they don't have a nest then they might be roosting there or probably going to build one. If they have a nest but no eggs just go ahead and take it down, if they do have eggs let 'em use the stairs, they probably consider it their domain which would probably explain the annoyed act.

But you're lookin' at about 2 months with 'em, that allows times for the chicks to grow up and leave home. But keep in mind their parents will build another nest 2 weeks after the first ones are born so you may wanna take that nest down before they use it.

The diease thing isn't as bad as you think, so don't worry about it. A friend of mine used to own pigeons and I did pet/hold some of them, they're not too bad once you get to know 'em.

Here's a site that may help you, joined almost 3 years ago it has a lotta info;

you know what really makes me mad, at home depot by my house in the exit entrance a couple of small birds set up a nest, i saw the little guys way too cute. i went there the next day and the nest and birds were gone and i dont know if it was the same parents, and these were freaking out trying to build a new nest a few feet away i asked one of the workers what had happened to the nest and she shruged and said they probibly got an exterminator eeek! so all those cute innocent birdies were probibly killed. i hate how ignorant some people are about wildlife. they should have just left them to grow up and that would be the end of it, no need to "erradicate" the nest.

[Lady Tarheel]

BD, that was a wonderful response.

Jenz - I too hate it when nests are torn out when there are babies in them. One of our most loved pigeons came from a nearby Home Depot. He is severely crippled because both legs were broken when he fell from a canopy. However, he owes his life to a Home Depot employee who spotted him on the pavement and cared enough to get help for him. He will never walk upright again but can fly and has a good quality of life, thanks to their intervention.

i think home depot needs to fix their doors or something if they dont want birds in there. it is inviting because of the layout of the front. i got pooped on a bird there, but i thought is was halarious. plus its good luck to be pooped on by a bird!

Funy when my Mom was a kid a girl at her school got a little 'present' from a seagull flying over the schoolyard, I still laugh about it!

Thanks for the commit on my response tarheel. When my borther was a kid we had mourning doves that built a nest in a hanging plant, thought around the 4th year they stopped coming, I wasn' born yet so I NEVER experianced that and the one time some pigeons built a nest on a rain drain at my old house but saldy the nest fell, the eggs broke and the parents were gone. My sister called the birds stupid, I didn't think they were stupid, they just didn't know the drain probably wouldn't have supported all that weight on it, i.e. the nest and both birds.
