well its official there are in fact two pigeons creating a nest on my fire escape window box
honey its so cute the big fat boy keeps running out for my twigs
having already used all the twigs that (sigh) would have come back possibly
as herbs in the spring..and his lady love the smaller mama
is sitting there waiting for him
everytime he returns with another twig, sprig, branch whatever
she takes it and and works it into the base of the nest forming underneath her
when i push my face to the window to stare at her(shes only about 6 inches away) she freezes for a moment and grows still
then i back away and she goes back to her flutter of activity working the gifts from her mate into the nest
its as if she knows and hubby knows that i wont open the window bars
and open the window and disturb their private place
honeys
this is all out amazing to me
im a new yorker for crying out loud
the closest i come to nature
are
well
actually pigeons
i guess
and the occasional mouse
rat
and wild flower
but to have these darlings
creating a nest 6 inches from my desk
to watch their progress
its better than the discovery channel to moi
and the timing is miraculous
cause surely you've guessed
i've got a massive case of the blues
i wish i could open the window and feed them
but then i know they'd have to go away and start all over
and i cant do that to them
move them out just because i want to show them i care
so i sit back and do nothing
but applaud
standing ovation actually
