Episode 74: A pigeon’s nest at home and its ripple effects
Manage episode 405812304 series 1433268
When a pigeon comes into the house. This is a controversial episode. In fact, I am pretty sure nobody in the nature groups that I am part of will approve of this. In fact, they may even condemn this episode. Because you see, it is about pigeons, which birders call flying pests. But here’s what happened and so, if you listen or watch this episode, advance apologies.
About six months ago, a rock pigeon made a nest in my mother-in-law's balcony. This episode is about the ripple effects after that.
One day, I returned after a long trip and visited my mother-in-law who lives in a separate apartment in my building to discover that a pigeon had laid two eggs on a chair that she uses to sit on in her balcony. My mother in law was quite delighted with this development. She lives alone and having a living creature inhabit her home gave her a lot of pleasure. The problem is that these feral pigeons– rock doves– are carriers of disease.
