Pigeon breeding.

Is it normal for a female pigeon to be putting her beak in my males mouth? Is she flirting? Their both older birds. Also my one pair has a nest. She started to set on them two Saturdays ago, when will they hatch?

Yes It's normal behavior, and incubation is 18 days.

Ok, thanks!

No problem. What kind of pigeons are they? In your original post you said she is setting the eggs. I don't know if your aware or not, but both parents set the eggs and care for the young.

Oh! I was talking about my older pair of homers. Yea, they both help out in the nest. But my younger pair bonded with the so called tangerine doves.
