I can’t find the tag on the American racing page or the national pigeon page either . Any one can help?

Hello!

So this year I’ve had a pigeon couple live in a space just outside my window, it’s inaccessible to anyone, a previous Edwardian window had been bricked away, would have previously been a small balcony I presume.

These pigeons have laid about 2 eggs since March. There is no cover to this area. Every time it rained, the nest would be destroyed and the pigeons would leave. The eggs disappeared each time (maybe eaten by parakeets etc).

I went on holiday for a month, and during this big no rain heatwave they have successfully laid and hatched two chicks! They are both still here (despite a few rains) and too young to fly.

The issue now is they have pooped all over this area visible from my window and it looks awful. So many eggs previously didn’t make it.

When they are old enough to fly, I would like to discreetly cover the area so they can’t use it as a (terrible choice which failed them multiple times) place for their nest.

But I don’t know how to reach it or what I would cover it with. Please help!

I got some bird seed and I'm going to thoroughly clean & dry an empty plastic spice bottle (because it's light) and fill it up so I can feed pigeons if I come across them. Since it's hot right now, I don't want to carry a giant stash in my car. I usually carry a purse but for those who don't, maybe pockets (if they're big enough) or take to your car when you go out & bring it back in when you come home to avoid heat damage?

I can't wait to feed my pigeon friends 😊

Robert Burns is buried here.

Do I leave it or do I take it in? I remember there being a big mom pigeon on this nest above my door, unreachable for me, maybe she'll come back. I think somebody must've broken/removed the nest :(

It's thankfully moving its head and body. I'm just scared if I have to take it in because I have two very curious cats.

4th time seeing it in my time in nyc, so pretty :)

Bro has an attitude problem

Just about a week after I had to remove a bunch of non-viable eggs from the other nests, these two little ones hatched!! They’re so precious and tiny. I almost had a heart attack tonight when I went to feed my dogs and looked onto the porch to see egg pieces strewn about. It just turned out to be the baby announcement! Because today was the start of the SF International Pen Show, they shall be known as Pilot and Sailor. I’ll get leg bands on when they’re bigger but I’m going to make sure starting today I go out to talk to them at least once a day so hopefully we can stay friends!!

I have no bird experience and 3 dogs. It seems lonely. I just want a safer happier home for cutie.
