A few days back I had mentioned that the pigeons in my balcony were busy building their nest. Well it was for a very good reason and I was absolutely spot on about the mating dance. Earlier in the day today, the female laid 2 eggs. I wasn't sure why they were making all the different noises but I am sure it must be their happy song. I am beginning to understand their noises. I can tell if they are calling their respective mate versus if a new pigeon was in my balcony. The female is still very cautious to feed from my hand but the male is pretty comfortable with me. He even let me take his picture today..
The male is very responsible flying off religiously and untiringly to fetch twigs and straws to expand their nest so that the eggs remain warm. The male and the female both take turns keeping the eggs warm while the other flies off in search of food. The understanding and co-ordination between them is worth noting and something that we all can learn from.
