We’ve just had a wood pigeon nest just outside the window of the flat. Very noticeable that the pigeons spend very little time on the nest generally. Which is understandable given the state of their nest. A bit more nest time when the chicks (2) hatched, but only for a few days. Pigeons feed their chicks energy-rich liquid food that they make in their crops, rather than bringing frequent small feeds back. The parents hang around nearby to fend off anything that approaches the nest. The chicks grow ridiculously fast and next thing you know they are fledged out on branches looking almost as big as the parents.

Do pigeons sit on their eggs the whole time? We have nest and egg but recently no pigeon it seems.
Could it just be off being a cunt somewhere?
