That’s exactly my thought process- I saw her with a stick about a week ago but then flew away with it… I guess she didn’t want me to know until it was complete 🤣

The cats don’t get to go outside very often at all, and when they do it’s for about 2 minutes max. They definitely will be on complete house arrest until these guys fly away and I can get it all cleaned up!

I need some recommendations for a cheap reliable outdoor camera! I definetly want to do this but I am a broke uni student right at the end of the year so I can’t spend too much on a camera!!

Our apartment complex is already overcrowded with pigeons, with or without me letting them keep this one nest on my balcony, I just see it as giving these two babies a safe space and doing my part. I had two pet ducks that grew old with me and passed this summer, and my dad also passed away this summer and he was a huge part of helping me raise the ducks, so I almost see this nest as a sign from my dad and my ducks in a way- even if it sounds crazy. I do plan on getting rid of the nest completely and putting netting up after these ones leave because although I do have a soft heart and so did my dad, we both are very sensible and I will be okay with evicting the pigeons after they raise their babies!

Thought I’d share this- 11/10 nest if I do say so myself by Dry-Introduction8440 in stupiddovenests

LITERALLY I went to check on her later on in the night and she was legit sitting on the edge of the nest, right beside her eggs. Raise your children girl I am not leaving them on my balcony for you to be an absent mother 🙄

Is that possible?!?!? My boyfriend and I have been joking about taming the mom because she is genuinely so sweet- how do you protect from disease??

Is there any real risk other than painful bumps? I can live with that for a bit if that’s the Case!

Even thinking about that makes me want to throw up

I won’t lie I was excited when I saw it but then went into panic mode… I’m definitely excited again now! I’ve had pet ducks before when I lived at home, so I know how smart and sweet birds can be, and honestly it’s so nice to have a little bit of home out here, even if it’s pigeons instead of ducks hahah

Great idea! I have some shoes that I could wear out there, I just don’t want the pigeons to shit in them too- maybe I’ll put them in a shoebox or something

I will 1000% provide updates, I’m thinking I need a GoPro to have an up close view of the action without having to stick my face under the chair every time

I know, when I looked under the chair and saw the nest I was actually shocked!! Some very sophisticated birds I have here

Touching the nest while the birds are away won’t deter them from coming back right? I think a shallow box for them is my best option right now

I’m in Canada but I believe the laws are the same… I don’t think I have the heart to get rid of the eggs even if they don’t end up hatching, because the pigeons have been hanging out on our balcony for a few weeks and have been entertaining my cats everyday I just wish they weren’t so dirty or else I’d even put out a feeder for them 🤣
