What does it mean exactly if a pigeon has made a nest in my balcony?

Question

In the past few days, i have seen 2 pigeons around my balcony. When they weren't around, i checked outside my balcony and saw a nest built by them, made out of twigs from trees. What exactly does this mean? Are they going to lay eggs? or are they just making a nest to live in? Im just curious because it would be interesting to watch them hatch eggs and raise them

Answer 1

Your gonna get lots of s**t on your balcony. no other meaning. Birds don't make nests to live in, they live in trees, nests are purely for eggs and youngsters.

Answer 2

Well, any bird can make a nest to live in, but if a female makes the nest it usually means there ready to lay eggs. If they just recently made the nest tan it could be they want to lay eggs as it is just summer. So I wouldn't keep watch over the nest and if they don't lay eggs within a week then there probably just making a nest for the fall and winter, (but likely not as there is still a lot of warm weather ahead).

Whatever you do, don't touch the nest, eggs or birds.

Answer 3

they only make nests to lay eggs and becarful because my dad got meningitis from pigeon p**p and he almost died i hate those birds.
