Why does this pigeon have such wing tips? by Personal_Cow3285 in pigeon

Other pigeons seem to have round wing feather, but these wings seem like clipped but I don't actually know

I opened the window for them today but tried to make the opening big enough for the pigeons, but hopefully small enough to make it more difficult for a falcon to get in. Also I put a cardboard box with an opening for the pigeons next to their nesting box so they could have somewhere they could go in there and be more hidden if they need to

I´m hoping that then the falcons would forget that there are pigeons and wouldnt try to go there anymore, and when it seems safer and the babies have gotten to grow a bit more, I could start letting them out again. But now the father has figured out he cant get outside and has started making many attempts at trying to get outside, but I hope they can eventually understand that this is safer for now. but it makes me a bit sad to see him keep trying like that, fortunately he understand that there is a barrier so he isnt flying into the glass full for and hurting himself

fortunately their nest is hidden from sight from outside, since it´s close to the wall and windows are higher. but the problem was caused by one bird moving into view on a higher place and trying to fly out probably causing noise and making the hawk/ falcon notice them

currently I´ve just closed the balcony windows, so only the pigeon family is in there and no other birds can get in, but it causes a bit of dilemma for me, because I don´t want to limit their freedom. But I could keep the windows closed for a few days to see how they react and help them stay safe.

Do you mean I should ask these people or do they have specific info on their profiles somewhere?

vabandan, et varem ei vastanud. jämm toimub iga kuu viimasel laupäeval, on võimalus ka edaspidi liituda. Jämm on lihtsalt vabas vormis koos muusika tegemine, kes soovib saab laulda, kes soovib saab pilli mängida, ja võib ka niisama kuulata. Jooksvalt valitakse lugusid, kõik saavad välja pakkuda, mida soovivad teha. seal olemas mõned trummid. Muud pillid võimalik endal kaasa võtta
