My balcony has become a breeding place for pigeons. A pair hatches the eggs, squabs come out of them, grow feathers and fly and a new female lays eggs, the process goes on. In evenings and mornings I see some pairs in romantic mood and good! I think, they do it here, I welcome their idea of privacy, and otherwise a love garden is not too far from my place. I have allotted balcony for their activities and I don’t mind cleaning the twigs of their nest which they litter all around. There is mutual consent between me and the pigeons, I don’t offend them in their place and they don’t do that in mine. Though I strictly follow the rule but they often try to encroach into my place. Other day they made a clumsy nest out side my window and laid there. A couple of days before a pair of small pink squabs came out of the eggs. I was worried if they fell down and died, in afternoon I fixed a plank under the nest to make it safer. But the next morning, when I went to investigate my arrangement, I found the nest empty; I could not locate the squabs neither the parents. Probably they felt insecure from my efforts and shifted their children to some other place.
After all the birds should not trust wretched humans!

I think its communication gap between you and pigeon couple… All human beings speak some language through which they communicate their feelings, emotions and ideas. Birds, too, convey their message through some sound. May be when they don’t have any language in the sense as we have, since the intelligence of birds is low and their vocabulary is limited. Its not that they don’t trust human… Now I will come to the point of trust. It requires conscious commitment and ongoing attention. It is dynamic: it can be lost and it can be increased. One way to think about the importance of trust is to examine what happens when it does not exist.
