Broody pigeon holding in poop

[Tiffy316]

Oreo, my pet pigeon, has been broody off and on since March. Almost every time I take her out of her cage to mess with her, she unleashes a nesty poop on me. Is it OK for them to be almost constantly broody? I'm honestly more worried about her holding in her poop all the time. IDK if that's good for them or not.

She's an indoor pet who spends most of her time in her cage, except for when I'm home. She gets to come out to stretch her wings in the evening, although she usually chooses to go back to her cage after a few minutes.

Is she laying real eggs or sitting on fakes?

Either way I don’t think holding it in is particularly bad for them. It just smells extra bad because they’ve been holding it in for so long. I would think that if holding it in was uncomfortable they would simply get up off the nest and relieve themselves

She's laying real eggs. I let her keep them bc it seems to make her happy.
