Have they been abandoned?Hi,
We were fortunate enough to have some pigeons move into our (fake) tree on our balcony and lay two eggs... ![]() The eggs hatched on the 18th of April, and these two little yellow balls of fluff... ![]() (bonus video of the parents getting rid of the empty shell: 18042009073.mp4 (45 MB)) have rapidly turned into two fat brown balls of fluff... ![]() All seemed to have been going well, and the parents have been pretty much constantly sat on/with the birds since they were born about 16 days ago, but as of this morning, I haven't seen the parents once. It is now gone midnight and the two baby birds are still left alone in the nest. Is this normal? I am worried that they might have been abandoned, but I don't want to go and interfere with the babies if the parents are still around and looking after them. They do have a good set of feathers on them and they are huddled against each other to keep warm, but I don;t know if they are being fed any longer. Please could somebody advise as to whether they are okay? Many thanks. Stu |
