Pigeon nest on our balcony
Pigeon egg on our balcony
Originally uploaded by lilitu93.
A pair of pigeons have made a nest in a planter on our balcony. They’ve laid two eggs and are taking turns sitting on it. Squabs should be hatching any day now.
This picture was taken a few weeks ago before the second egg was laid. Pigeons lay a pair of eggs, one a day or so before the other, and they sit on their eggs for about 18 days before they hatch. So any day now, we will have squabs to photograph.
I’m also setting up a pigeon web cam–I’ll be posting here with more details once the cam is up and running.
