Twins

[DA1]

Twin Pigeons (feral) successfully hatched and raised by parents from a single egg by my window. Unhatched egg remained in the nest for several days before being ejected.

Please please can you post some more? Videos first have to be uploaded to youtube or vimeo. Yes, it is rare but not unheard of.

Do you have one of the two chicks with the unhatched egg still present? That would be almost as good.

Not sure as I've never done it myself. If you have it uploaded to youtube, just try either way.

i'll check back later, time to feed my birds.
