PIGEON on the outside passageway
Living in a block of flats we, and the other residents, are continuously at war with the pigeons. The weapons of war have been old CDs hanging from the balcony, plastic bags tied here and there, ledges have been sprayed and lastly, and the most effective, has been to stick plastic spikes on any of the ledges the birds prefer.
However, this year one mother pigeon got away with laying two eggs in a pot which contains an old discarded Yucca outside our front gate. I don't think she even bothered to make a nest
By the time we discovered the eggs she had been sitting there a few days so we decided to leave her be.
Luckily or unluckily she managed to knock one of the eggs out of the pot so then there was one.
Here are a few photos of the progress the first one being the mother sitting on the eggs and the last the young pigeon probably the day before it left the nest or rather the plastic pot
