We have two balconies in our apartment, one of which serves as our clothes drying area. Lately, whenever I go open the door to that balcony, a pigeon goes flying out, its wings fluttering noisily away. Being ornithophobic , this makes my heart beat faster and I’ve been a little fearful of entering the balcony since.
I initially thought the pigeon was just using the place as shade against the hot sun, but yesterday, after the bird flew away, I moved in a little closer and this is what I found:
A little nest with two teeny meeny eggs!! The smart Mommy bird found a cool, shaded place amongst the old cardboard boxes and made an oval shaped nest in the available rectangular space!! Talk about making lemonade out of lemons!!
