Hi All,

We live in a top floor apartment with a balcony. I've just come home to notice there's a pigeon on the railing of the balcony and under a table there's an unbroken egg with what looks like small bits of a nest beside it, but no sign of the actual nest. Is there anything we can do/not do to help the situation. We've not approached the pigeon or egg. Thanks in advance for any advice

Pigeon brain probably thinking "lovely, a ledge on top of a really high cliff. Nobody will ever find my egg here".
Didn't reckon on the patio doors opening... :pac:

My son brought me in one the eggs. Of course being half asleep I didn't realize what it was and broke it.

A new egg was on the balcony next morning
