While some birds are fantastic nest builders, chill mourning doves and pigeons fails more often than not. Plus, ground squirrels have moved into a Los Gatos yard and that’s not good news.
I have an 8-foot ladder leaning against a sheltered corner of my patio. A pigeon, I think, made a nest on top of it about a week ago and then two days ago, the bird, I guess, started dismantling the nest.
Is this normal? Should I put a bowl up there and move the eggs into the bowl, so when the eggs hatch, the chicks won’t fall off, or would the bowl cause mama to abandon the nest? I also put a small dish of water near there.Define “normal.” For a robin, let’s say, no, it’s not normal. For a pigeon or mourning dove, it’s completely normal..
Sometimes they get it right, but a lot of times they don’t. However, you’ll rarely find more devoted bird parents. Both the male and female take turns sitting on the eggs, and should they successfully incubate them, both birds work hard to feed and care for their small brood.
