I have two pairs housed together. Until recently, the males only took up one nest box each but now that everyone has paired up, one male keeps pushing out the pair from their nest and sitting on their egg. Meanwhile, his mate is sitting on a fake egg in her nest box (because she was insistent on...

I have four pigeons in my enclosure: Oliver, Betty, Esteban, and Pearl. Esteban and Oliver used to share the enclosure alone and each had a nest box they regularly used/slept in. When Betty and Pearl were introduced to be their mates, initially Esteban and Betty paired up but she began spending...

So tl dr; I've been battling with pigeons for years because they always nest on my balcony but are also then too stupid to actually have the eggs hatch. I think one time they froze, another the eggs had been eaten by a hawk or owl or something I'd guess. I feel bad destroying a nest, but after...

Recently, the ferals that live on my balcony have started roosting, which I'm really happy about, but the problem is that they've made their nest right next to the pipe/drain that drains away rainwater, and that spot also has no protection from rain whatsoever. Additionally, it'd be really easy...

A pair of magnificent European collared doves build a nest in a tree on my balcony around two weeks ago. They already laid two eggs and are diligently sitting on them taking turns. In about ten hours however our area will be hit by a STORM with wind gusts up to 90 km/h (56 mph). The tree is very...

Hello, newbie here. I have an (apparently breeding) pair of pigeons sitting on two eggs for 10 days. I noticed 3 days ago the male was fluffed and the next day, shivering. According to my (internet) research I think it is coccidium(?) so ordered some items. Of course they are taking forever to...

Hi, all. I apologize, but I made a big mistake and now don’t know what to do. I haven’t used my balcony in some time (22nd floor of high rise). But with Covid, I Am sheltering at home, and decided to use all my space. I discovered a dirty nest behind a chair in the corner, and pigeon droppings...

So, two of my pigeons seem uninterested in sitting on their eggs (they did that last time, too, but they're young and this is their second clutch). One of my other pigeons decided that nest was a perfect place to lay her own egg despite there being a seperate nest just for her and her mate (no...

Hello! I have 2 beautiful baby white pigeons outside my window who were born around the 15th of March at the start of our lock-down here in Seville Spain. The mother is no longer around (might be nesting again elsewhere) but the father is here many times throughout the day to feed them. He is...

Hi. I am a new member and the handsome "guy" in the attached picture is called Mossie. Mossie is a Laughing Dove and is +/- 6 months old. He was removed from his nest by the neighbours cat when he was about 2 or 3 days old. They didn't want to put him back in the nest as they were scared the cat...

There was a pigeon nest on my ledge it had been raining very hard this week. The pigeon nest was made by me it was a cardboard box with a plastic bag covering but it was getting really wet. I live in the 6th floor & my fear was that the box was going to rip & they were going to fall. I made a...

Hello - I just noticed last night that a pigeon has laid two eggs on my balcony andnot sure how to handle. We are in NYC on the 15th floor of a high rise apartment building and have been noticing for sometime now that pigeons have been “hanging out” on the rails of the terrace. We just came...

Hi, There are a pair of pigeon babies nesting on my AC ledge. They hatched July 17th and have been flying between the different condo blocks with their Mother for about a week now. They were gone for a day and I thought they have fledged the nest so I went out and cleaned it up. To my...

Hi, everyone. TL;DR Two Rock Pigeons are growing a healthy squab on my window sill. I like the birds but the nest smells really bad and is dirty, as one would expect. The way the nest is set up, it is very possible for mites and all kind of unsanitary bacteria from the droppings or whatnot to...

Hi there, I'm brand new here. :) eggs have been on my apt balcony (California, nice weather) for 8 days, and I have been observing the pretty pigeon. She was moving them to spots where the door could hit them a couple of the days...I want to help her... so, I put a little shallow open black...

I'm having trouble getting the nest pads I bought with my nest bowls to stay in the bowls properly. They slide around in the bowls, so the birds don't have secure footing as they enter and exit the nest bowl. Sometimes they even slide so far to the side that the pad comes out completely. Has...

Hey guys, I am new to this so be kind..... I am going to be building a new loft 10 x4 plus setting cage on front and would like to know for homing pigeons nest boxes: 1. How big they should be? 2. Is larger better than more of them? 3. I would like them open so the birds can do bird things.(the...

Time-sensitive - How to protect a pigeon nest from predators? Hello all, I'll try to make this long story short. I live in the city. I found a feral pigeon nest on my balcony when I moved into my new place a few weeks ago. Soon there were two eggs, and I watched with glee as the parents took...

About a week ago a pigeon laid eggs on my balcony. Some people will come to do fix the air conditioner in my house next week. The problem is that to fix it they will need to go to the balcony and the pigeons laid eggs on a pot which is on the side that the people will be working on. The side...

Hi there. I just joined this group and I'm not sure if I'm posting under the right category. I have a nest of what looks like to be 2 dead baby pigeons on my balcony. I'm not sure what happened, possibly the cold weather or the mother leaving them alone too long. The mother still comes back to...
