my usual pigeons come and go for breakfast and dinner and occasionally they bring a friend. Today I've noticed one of them sounds like their chirping like a baby bird. I just went outside and there was only 2 outside everyone else left and the smaller one of the two left was flapping and...

A couple of times the smaller baby didn't get any food from a parent because the bigger one intercepted the parent before he could reach the nest, and the smaller one hesitated to leave the nest. I sometimes give parents some raw sunflower seeds and popcorn. Can I give some extra food to the...

Hello! A few weeks back, a pigeon came to our apartment balcony (5th floor, highest to an open sky) and laid some eggs inside one of our flower pots outside (the pots are empty, so there's nothing inside, making for a great space for a nest). She came back there everyday and after a while the...

Hello! A couple laid an egg in my french balcony 4 weeks ago, the bird is healthy and gets fed by his parents throughout the day. My problem is that I will be gone for 2 months and I don't think the baby bird will ever manage to get out from the balcony without human assistance.. It's a little...

Hi all! I used to come here a lot - I have a pet rescue ex-racing pigeon. Unfortunately I got relocated abroad for work and couldn't take my bird with me and I've been missing him TERRIBLY ever since (he now lives with my father back home). Then, as if by pigeon-y miracle, a pair of ferals...

Hi all, A pigeon nested on our 3rd floor balcony. I'm not sure how old the babies are now so I've included a picture, perhaps someone here will be able to gauge their age based on that. My boyfriend thinks three weeks, but I thought it was much less than that. The balcony is very secure and...

Hey guys, This might be completely normal, but it's bugging me. There's a pigeon flock living on our building and there are a few particular pigeons that come to sit on our balcony sometimes. One of these guys has started coming to our balcony and "screaming". He does it from morning to...
