Not a pigeon but an honorary member of my flock. We have an agreement whereby unlimited peanuts is exchanged for hawk deterrance.

You need some crows in on that deal as well!

I can always count on the bluejays ! I wish we had crows....but rarely see them.

That's quite an egg for a pigeon! Also, beautiful bird!

I never did figure out how my pigeon got a chicken egg into her nest. Since I took that chick, she is now on 2 more eggs. I also found 3 more pairs of eggs, and one nest has 3 eggs! 2 hens and a cock.

Baby pigeon is starting to look like a real bird now, haha. He can get himself into and out of the nest on his own.

How do I go about handfeeding him some seeds now that his parents are feeding him mostly seeds? Just offer them and see if he eats them?

I love my blue jays. They help a while lot. They are the 'first responders' for a hawk, and then next comes the crowd which hear all the commotion. I also will blow my crow call a bit before flying to deter hawks and attract crows.

Are the new eggs pigeon, or bantie???

I better double check.
But this time, they are in her regular nest bowl, so I suspect they are actually hers.
