Naturally I had to take a picture of ‘baby’s first day out’, so I went back inside to get my camera and when I got back, this was the shot I got: Carefully I approached to take a closer look and there I saw it!Ī tiny, fuzzy little blob moving around in its broken egg shell! I didn’t even know they had already laid eggs! 8th) I walked out on the balcony after I saw a pigeon’s tail sticking up from behind the flower pot that’s in front of the nest, thinking something’s up. Lately I’ve been noticing 2 pigeons hanging out on our balcony and seen them in the corner where a previous pigeons’ nest had been, so I was hoping they’d stick around to make babies but I didn’t keep a close eye.Īnd today (Tues. Maybe I’m worried for nothing and maybe he is somewhat used to me, but I don’t know a lot about pigeons, so if anyone has any pigeon wisdom, please do share! So I don’t really think he’s gotten used to my presence I do check on him every day and spend around 5-10 minutes near him to take pictures at least twice a day, (I did that with Bailey once a day, and he never got used to me.)īut, I wonder if Frankie’s okay – I don’t even know if he ever walks around on the balcony, between 3 and 8 pm he doesn’t, that’s when I check on him – I’m asleep from 6am to 2pm, so I don’t know what happens during those hours – but I’m a little worried if this is normal behavior for a 3 week old pigeon. I’ve never pet him or picked him up – I’m too scared his parents will abandon him or something. You know, a nervous, alert little pigeon, which has always – to me – been the description of a healthy pigeon.īut I worry about Frankie, because he doesn’t flinch at all when he sees me, nor does he hiss at me or stand up to get away, he just sits there, sometimes he looks up at me, but that’s about as active as he gets upon seeing me. I mean, Bailey (the baby pigeon from 2007) seemed a very healthy and alert pigeon when he was about 3 weeks old when he’d spot me, he would stand up, hiss and try to get away without leaving the nest. Simply click it for an enlargement.Īs for Frankie related news, the little pigeon is 3 weeks old now and I’m a bit worried. I don’t know what happens to the spiders, I don’t even know what they’re doing in the painting, just a scare-factor I guess, and they probably burn at the end of the story.Īcrylics on aquarel paper, 30×40 centimeters. The story sort of goes like “FIRE! I go out the window, you take the teddy bear and the fire escape!” It just sat there on top of my currently non-functioning speakers for the last few weeks waiting for me to finish the dreadful details and yesterday I finally got it done. At last, I’ve finished that painting I’ve been working on since March.
