hi,
i’ve had a pigeon sittin on her eggs, on my balcony for about a month now. i’ve read that the gestation period for pigeons is maximum 19 days - any idea what might be going on with Lucille (that would be the pigeons name)…?
thanx,

Maybe the eggs are infertile, but Lucille lacks the necessary protocols to diagnose this fact. How did you get her to reveal her name, by the way?
Why on earth are you sitting idly by while a pigeon is poised to increase the pigeon population? They are just flying rats.
I would get rid of the next and chase off the fowl fiend.
maybe mangetout - a good point - her name just came to me, i was out on my balcony having a smoke and admiring her and Lucile was the name that popped into my head, so i decided to go with it.
wonderwench - i really dont think it’s my place to decide which species deserve to be eliminated, and which not. and i’m rather looking forward to seeing Lucile’s babies.
I vote for pegging the bastards before they multiply, but apparently many people would not agree.
They are a non-native vermin who spread disease and steal from/harass other birds. Let me get my slingshot…

Call it *incubation period * rather than “gestation”.
Don’t know the answer but if/when they hatch pls take some pix and post them. I’ve always wondered why I, and everyone else I’ve ever asked, have never seen a baby pigeon, or even a small one.
