The person who made the poster is awesome!
I'll admit I didn't kick any pebbles off of the path today, as I was on my bike (not walking). But I'll remember to do that in the future.
Is that conceptual art or a concerned user? Or both ! I like the fact that some coupons were taken. Vic you are awesome.
Hi, please help, i'm heartbroken... i've been watching pigeons in an enclosure i made on my balcony, very secure, no egg could have rolled out and no other animals ever come onto the balcony, not that the eggs could have been seen anyways.
One was gone this morning! TOTALLY gone! No egg, no eggshells, non hatchling. i couldn't find even a tiny piece of shell, and i looked on the ground below the balcony for an hour, nothing.
Do pigeons eat their own babies?!!? What could have happened to this egg!? Do they ever transport the eggs or babies to other locations in their beaks like a cat does!?
FYI the other egg looks like it's about to hatch, the father is sitting on it, i can't believe they would have left it alone even 1 minute, for months i have not seen them leave without one of them on it... so what could have happened!!?
Unless they are pets then they will return
Those are not pigeon eggs. They only lay two.
Is crazy drivers there. It not big traffics that make problam. Is the all for the sudden unpredicts that make a harm on people. Not big respects for walkers on streets -- or sidwalks!
Go to see what you're up to, looks like you've to been staying active and enjoying yourself. The Junction, eh, wasn't there a horror story on W5 of a pop and son team and their dopey pitbull terrorizing a dear old widow in the other half of the double and the Ernest Ave. neighbours in general. Freaking scary!
My husband found a baby pigeon about 6 months ago, and decided to keep it as a pet. Our problem now is, she laid 2 eggs about 3 weeks ago and now we don't know what to do with them???? Should we take them away from her?? Will she continue to lay eggs??HELP!!!!
That's grodi, man.
How lovely!!
Hey Vic - like the new stuff and the photo highlights... with descriptions... keep it up! your amsterdam shot at dusk is beautiful.
Good to see you found your way here again. I'll keep an eye on your blog, and I hope you enjoy that 7D!
Cheers,
Vic

My balcony is home for a pair of pigeon, four months back they laid two eggs, both eggs hatched successfully, a pair was born, in six weeks they took off, they did try to return but the father didn't let them stay there. Again female laid two eggs two days back but today I discovered that one egg was broken, will they abonden the another egg? or female will lay another egg?
Someone help me. I love animals of all kinds. My brother found a pigeon egg on his balcony. He was going to throw it away. The info I need is =
Temp of the eggs ( I have a light on it now but it does not feel warm )
How many days?
I know how to care for it if it hatches.....
Any suggestions on how to make a nest correctly??????????????????????
Please E mail me at Catalinavicente@yahoo.com
hi could some one help me please my breeding pair of feather feet tumbelers have laid an egg on the 14th and she aint laid a second one yet and its the 17th would she of laid it some where eles or will she only have one ? please email me on xpaulfryettx1986@hotmail.co.uk
Dogs also inhale pigeon pop and get crytococs or how ever it is spelled and get extreamly sick and need to be treated with medication that cost 600 a month for 5 months!!!!
Except for the purposes of study and curiousity, anyone who raises wild pigeons is cracked! I am sick and tired of cleaning up the poop on my balcony and finding my flowers flattened from being sat on and pecked at. As far as I'm concerned, pigeons are no better than flying rats! If you find a fresh newly hatched egg, my advice would be to take it inside and make an omelette. MMMM
i went out on the balcony and sore 3 eggs in the corner and i think there pigeon eggs lol but how long is it b4 they hatch please im not sure about this its new my 1st time seeing the eggs
Hello!
I have come upon two pigeon eggs.. I would like to raise them.. But i have no idea how to keep them warm or anything? please help!
OK, here goes a little info for those who care for our feathered friends. If you come out on your balcony one day and you see (1) egg, just let it be. The second egg won't be laid for about 44 hours and during those first 44 hours between the first egg and the second egg the pigeons don't worry too much about staying on the egg. After the second egg is laid, then the parents will start to sit on the eggs earnestly, the dad during the day and the mom during the night. Also once the second egg is laid, whoever is sitting on the egg will (or should) be very protective of them and possibly bat their wing at you or peck at you. They are just trying to be good parents. Side note: If you saw a single egg and took it inside, the second egg will probably not be laid. You can try to incubate the egg but, if it does hatch you do have a distinct problem of trying to reproduce pigeon milk since they are not self sufficient like a baby chicken is when hatched. The mom and dad will notice that there is no more egg and try to get back to the business of making babies again, so... about another 14 days or so before another set of eggs may be laid. Back to the rest, once the second egg is laid, both should hatch on or about the 18th day. The mom and dad will both take turns feeding the young ones and they should be ready to leave the nest in about 30 days. Homing pigeons (Rock Doves) have been serving man for thousands of years. Good Luck!
Hi,
About two weeks ago i realised that there was a pigeon nest in my palm tree, we have a cat and unfortunately it killed one of the pigeons, i believe it was the mother as we still have one at the nest during the day, i am woriied that the father wont be able to keepp them alive if they still are alive as the nights are cold, also the nest doesnt look quit stable, but im afraid if i desturb it the father mught not return to it. the father doesnt sit on the eggs but beside them. im not sure what this mean s or wether i should care for them. i read that you were in a similar situation and i was wondering if you had any information that might help me with what i should do. please help!
Realize that this page is quite old, but here is hoping that the project is still going...
I put together a tall bike this weekend: http://twitpic.com/84skj
It was a simpler and shorter design then what you are going for, but I did learn one thing that might be applicable. Most of the tall bikes are over engineered; e.g. they have way more support pieces then needed. Keep it down to the essential triangles, make sure your connections are good (welding, brazing) and you should be solid.
PS
+ it will roll better with round wheels :)
you guys get pretty pissed when someone hurts a pigeon where i work there is atleast 20 pigeons and no one has got sick from them and weve had pigeons for over 7 years now i am not saying they dont have these diseses but any way if some one wants to hurt the pigeans let them do what they want you are just giving them what they want every time you say your curl thats what they want to here why do you think the do it but i have an egg at my work and the mom left for a good 3 hours now is the egg dead or is it still alive
