Yep! I see the female on the nest more than the male, but he may sit all day while I’m gone. He sleeps very close by too.

Is your little non-flyer still doing well? Flight restored and all?

Yes, its doing just fine! I have locked all birds in due to hawk season so im not sure how it would do free flying. Im glad yours are doing good sitting. I have an egg due to hatch in a week or so (the other egg was infertile) and then two squabs about 2-3 weeks old.

@CCUK when did you change your name? I like it alot! @WVduckchick are both parents sitting on those eggs?

Yes. It's just abbreviated. I've been considering it ever since @biophiliac called me it a while back! I hope your pigeon is doing well after the attack.

As in everything, individuals differ - I had one lazy guy who would only sit from about noon to 3:30pm. They still manage to raise young.

@biophiliac do you have chickens also?

I was wondering if I could take credit, I've always thought of you that way. It just rolls off the tongue easier!

My first birds ever were 8 chicks I purchased at a local hatchery on hatch day in 2016. I became fascinated with them and was very sad when I had to rehome them (to join a pet flock on a local farm). I kept them in a coop that was going unused in my neighbor's yard until she decided that chickens no longer fit her plans for the garden.

You can see more pics of them in my album...
