Pigeon's Nest (Palm Dove's Nest) North India Common House Pigeon

Their were two baby Pigeons in the nest.At night I thought I would clean the room.As soon as I moved the speaker ,A bird shot off into the ceiling fan and then resting on floor loosing few of its feathers though otherwise unhurt.I was quite taken aback soon the other baby too flew off hiding behind the cabinet.I thought the parent birds always be with their babies at night.But they were no where in sight and frankly I did not noticed them from below.

It seems after observing for few days Parent Pigeons remain with kids all day long and fly away someplace  at night.Now the Pigeon family has moved away and the Mother Pigeon is sitting in a fresh nest made over Carom-board.And well they leave the room spotted with bird poop.Their nest too seems stuck together with it.

The room on the roof was closed for a month in rainy season.the window was open.Pigeon couple thought it a safe place to nest.

Elusive Pigeons show mostly in the morning.

As they show up on east side towards Sun good picture is almost not possible.

  1. i don't love or hate pigeons. but they create a mess and are also very noisy.

    and yes i hv seen their nest and their young ones. i didn't hv the heart to disturb the nest when i saw the eggs . and it ws a real mess and such a stink after the eggs were hatched and it ws so till the young pigeons learnt to fly.

    and believe me....it ws real tough job cleaning it up later!

  2. Pigeons, like almost all birds, were here long before humans and they were not messy to anyone. It was all fertilizer. Now that we live in their territory they mess on our homes, bridges, gardens and etc. Those of us that have pet birds deserve what we get 4 having them in cages 4 our pleasure.

  3. All pigeons are dirty nester's from Wild to Tame, unlike lots of small birds they do not remove their droppings from the nest.they just let it pile up.

    So a Wild Pigeon is no cleaner than any tame species.that includes Doves.

    Love them or hate them it is up to the individual.
