hi
we have a pigeon nest in our garden. The chicks look to be around 10 days old I think. Mum left them this morning and hasn’t returned ... should I be worried? How long can then be left at this point?
thanks

Sorry to heaar of all the problems you have encountered Ina ... Monkeycheese has read your post but technically unable to post , so I have copied his reply to me ... ***It seems unlikely that they are Wood Pigeons so a photo would help. If the work is going to start then she can legally remove them for their own safety. She would need to know where to take them as they would require syringe feeding. She needs to keep watching and see what happens. If they have really been abandoned, which seems unlikely, then she could remove them, but she has to have a pigeon friendly rescue to take them. ***
Please confirm which type of pigeon & who have you asked for help from previously?
