Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
Thak you! I have been following the family dramas of three pigeon couples in my yard since winter and nobody to talk to about it, haha. I feel like my friends think i'm crazy.
Removing the nest was kinda yuck, some weird substances there. And so much pigeon shit. But the lil ones turned out amazing. Compared to the other young pigeons they seem to be in amazing shape. Photos from today:
the older one
I believe the older one is a male, i think it is doing warning calls when i get out on the balcony, but it sounds very un pigeon like, cute baby pigeon sound.
lil one
Haven't seen it in for two days, was already a bit worried. It slept quite a few more days on my balcony but no more. It has no problem eating out of my hand, brother is a bit more sceptical but does it too. Mom and pops are also daily guests, as is the "aunt" and the poor "uncle" who took care of the widow, which sadly must have passed away like two weeks ago. She was such a gentle and beautiful pigeon RIP. 🥲 Life goes on.
