carlsberg Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 if there is more than just the one pair of birds using the food/water dishes then i would move it if not leave it /dont move the nest or parents may abandon it /eggs start to chip 19 days from 1st egg being laid/they may start to look for food of their own after 17+ days/dont worry about them jumping out of the nest they are quite tough i have had fall from about 5 foot and they have been fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Girl Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well, there's no worries now. I woke up this morning, did some house work, and went out to see my birds and their egg. They must have gotten in a tiff about who was going to sit - or just for th eheck of it, because the egg wasn't there. When I opened the cage and poked my head in further, they were both sitting on a crossbeam looking at me, and then I looked down. Seems that the egg was shoved out of the nest, so that's a bummer. Are pigeons like chickens in that, when a chickens egg breaks in a coop - all the chickens make a mad dash for it and try to eat it, or do pigeons just let it break and leave it alone?
