Why don't you ever see baby pigeons

[PeelingWallpaperFlakyPaint]

You do! They're right here on my balcony!

Aibu to ask you how I'm going to clean this guano up 😭

Finally someone speaks some sense 😂😂

@Bobsicles Have you read Homing by Jon Day? It's such a beautiful book, all about his love of pigeons and the parallels between our lives and theirs. They're really remarkable birds, aren't they? I love them.

Agree. And squirrels are tree rats (but a bit cuter).

@Bobsicles

The We are History podcast did a really interesting episode about Spy pigeons. It was fascinating, definitely worth a listen.

I really want to see a baby magpie. They are such clever birds and so beautiful.

The teenage magpies have been hilarious this year! They hang about like wee thugs in my garden, screaming and playfighting and posturing. Or one will rock up in a both mood and sit somewhere improbable and uncomfortable like in an odd part of the spruce tree, and mope.

Then when they decide to catch insects they don't just do it efficiently like the adults, they dive bomb around massively dramatically.

They've had my in stitches. They are so uncannily like human teens.

The breasts are delicious, but haven't seen them on sale for many years.

We saw our first baby pigeon the other day, I think it had fallen out of a nest but was a fledging and mum was around so think it was safe enough. It was a gawky looking little thing. I just adore pigeons, little chunky squishy looking things.

i love this episode,
he is talking about collared doves as well as wood pigeons

They land on my roof with a thud, along with their partners in grime the magpies, who like to walk along the window ledge on the outside.

No birds have been inside yet, that was in my previous flat!

I see all sorts in summer from pigeons making babies on nieghbouring rooves of houses, right in full view.......don't know where to put myself. Mind you, its over in 3 seconds. 🤣

the lurk around my bird feeder waiting for the droppings

We used to get loads on our balcony until the council put nets up over it.

We've today discovered a wood pigeon (or collared dove, not sure) nest in the wisteria next to our bedroom window. Mother hasn't left all day, so presuming she's incubating some eggs. Looking forward to next few weeks watching what happens 😄

Obnoxious young? Try baby seagulls. Those blighters like to nest on flat rooves & boy are they loud.

@EmmaStone wood pigeons are great fat clumsy things, collared doves will be much smaller, slimmer and paler.

It was definitely the magpie.

I put seed and peanuts for the birds on my garage roof the order they come down is crows and magpies first they go for the peanuts then the wood pigeons and collared doves turn up, the pigeons are greedy they just peck till they almost fall over, then last but not least are the sparrows, the starlings seem to have gone as havent seen any for a few days

Aww they are cute bless them

Ive seen enough baby pigeon for all of us

We had a nest last summer. Multiple babies born in a few months

They breed constantly

It cost hundreds to have the gap filled up and nest removed
