Birds nest at work - what to do?

[AndyRM]

Leave it in place and then start giving us daily updates with photos

That's the plan! It'll never be as good as @User9609's sparrow one, but the more birds nest threads on here the better!

If it's K glass the birds probably won't be able to see much of the darker interior anyway as K glass is lightly mirrored.

Hm, I'm not sure. How would I be able to tell? It flew away when I was looking at it before.

You could disguise yourself, and climb up to investigate...

You're welcome to it.

Guano soup? Yuk!

Technically, it's saliva soup. So, yum.

You're welcome to it, too.

Pigeons make useless nests. The photo is of a completed nest.

I have a blackbird nest in my carport with 5 eggs. I drive in and out several times a day and the bird sits on the nest just looking at me.

Your pigeons will either be fine or abandon their bunch of sticks.

Really? Jeezo, that's a terrible effort. If I'd not seen the pigeon sat there I'd have been wondering how a random pile of sticks got on a gantry 50 foot up in the air.

An egg has been laid!

Omelette?

It's obviously quite happy with the human traffic so let's hope this turns into another @User9609 swallow thread

You probably know but that's a Wood Pigeon. A distant relative of the feral pigeons. Feral pigeons are much more closely related to another wild bird called a Stock Dove

We had 5 blackbird eggs yesterday but looked what happened.



I told you pigeon nests were rubbish :0)

I have absolutely no clue about birds, so thank you for the information! I had a read about them on wiki earlier, is it not unusual to see a nest where this one is?

Looks like a big daft woodpigeon. We've got one visits us regularly, his name's George ( although I think they're all called George).

Egg and pigeon are gone... doesn't seem like a good sign?

 

[Fnaar]

Oo'er... I guess pigeons don't just move their eggs to somewhere a bit quieter...

What's being served in the canteen today?

It's "chicken" soup tomorrow...
