Rollerblading along the road
I got a call to get a mommy pigeon and her two babies. I will post pics tomorrow. They are good-sized (took 2 hands to scoop one up), and plump little guys. She was nested in a ceiling in an office building, and they removed her. I have them set up on my screened patio in a large plastic bucket, with straw, a seed mixture, and water. Mom also has access to another food and water station a few feet away. She was frozen scared, and let me pick up her and the chicks and set them in the straw. I have seen her checking out the patio, and now I think she is in the nest with them. I'm starting research to see what else I can offer them - I just hope the mom isn't too stressed. Setting up a nest outside is impossible due to a cat roaming the neighborhood. I'm hoping I can just stay out of her way, keep food and water available and let her do her thing until they are ready to fly away.
