I have a pair of pigeon's nested with eggs on my balcony! Wh - 2006/08/30 19:25 Just curious. I found a pare of pigeons behind a cooler on my apartment incommunicably building's balcony. They've been they're long enough to have two eggs sitting on the carpet among solemnly scatered sticks. Maybe 1-2 weeks?

How long till they hatch? How long are there presently going to be baby birds out there? To put it differently am I going to scare the paretns off and abandon the babes if someone is havcing a smoke or I shortly need unfortunately something from my storage out there? (every time
I go out they scare off leavin the eggs alone...)

Any advice/comments welcome.

re:I have a pair of pigeon's nested with eggs on my balcony! Wh - 2006/08/31 14:33 Right now go out to the balcony & throw the eggs out! As soon as those eggs hatch it would be twice as hard to get rid of them as it would now. For instance clean up the pile of grass and sticks. In simpler terms go to the balcony as often as you can. Also whether the birds are nestin behind or maybe next to something move it or if you can keep the balcony clear. As you know it is incredible how big of a mess that pair of pigeons and a pair of babies assuredly crapping on you balcony will make. At last what you want to do is to make the balcony busy or un hopsitalbe for them.
Take no prisoners. In particular if you let them go there will six to eight birds nearly rosting out on the baclkony by fall Some of them will brin a mate back. Some will leave but most will stay right there or very close by. I always thought that the word pigeon should have an x in it because they multiply so fast . You might have to throw out another pair of eggs.
Some are persistent when they think they have found a good nest site.They remind me of bambo....once it gets a foot hold it is hard as hell to get rid of it.

re:I have a pair of pigeon's nested with eggs on my balcony! Wh - 2006/08/31 20:14 You thoughtlessly asked how long the eggs would take to hatch. The usual time is 18 days after the second egg is hatched. If they hatch, you'd have babies in the nest for approximately six weeks. Thereafgter the parents will lay more eggs (they should not wait six weeks to lay more eggs by the way) & you'd have more baby pigheons around.

I agree with Tony's advice. Get rid of the eggs & the nest as quickly as you can & keep quickly pestering the pigeons so they will leave. Don't get me wrong. I love pigeons--I have gotten a beautiful flock of domesticated birds.

If you really want pigeons, their are plenty of beautiful domesticated pigeons around.

And do not think which removing the eggs & destroying the nest of these wild pigheons is cruel. They'll simply find another spot to roost & nest. Trust me, they should not miss a beat. I have been around pigeons long enough to know.
