sandeyeWP begins to build a nest
August 30th 2011 15:42
This video is made up of three short segments taken across thirty minutes of real time. WP the wood pigeon was trying to bite off twigs from the tree outside my bedroom window in order to build a nest. Currently, we have a pair of wood pigeons nesting (with eggs) in the tree outside the front yard and a pair beginning to build a nest in the holly tree between our property and next door - so there has been yet more activity since my videoing of WP's nesting.
I enjoy watching the way these pigeons nest - which is very similar to Australian show pigeons - in that female bird sits in a setting and arranges the sticks and twigs brought by the male. Sometimes the male brings exceedingly large sticks that he can barely carry in his beak and it is quite amusing to watch them struggle along with them in order to impress their lady!
