A foetus of a bird or a standard egg yolk? Could it be that these eggs were never meant to crack open to a new life? I need your answer dear Owen. <br /><br />Another question that I'm left to ponder. Will the mother pigeon have learnt anything from her experience? Will her next nest be built in a quieter spot?<br /><br />Wonderful photos anyway, and a story beautifully told.Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308523489103068439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-23358549004996429042012-05-03T11:30:34.759+02:002012-05-03T11:30:34.759+02:00You have given life to your words beautifully! Hu...You have given life to your words beautifully! Human encroachment can certainly change the outcome of such things, I personally know oh so well myself. The bird had to have known of your comings and goings before working so hard to build the nest, and tis a sad occurrence. They must first hear the sound of the chicks from within the egg shell and then they usually will not abandon. This usually occurs about day 12 to 14 depending on the species. shorter term for songbirds. Once that time is passed, they usually stay put.

I have always had a dream of visiting France, but now as I get older that dream has faded a bit. Who knows though, stranger things have happened? Until then I feel honored to be able to join you on your journeys and celebrate the country through your marvelous photos. I fell head over heels in love with the texture you captured in the post "Clearing Out Cobwebs". You certainly have an eye and an outstanding feel for the perfect light. I do hope that you will accept my invitation to visit and to follow my blog, as well. Do not expect your quality of splendidness, but it does reflect my many interests.

Maybe it's not so uncommon? <br /><br />You mention that this was a pigeon's nest. I often asked myself the question why you see so many pigeons around in Paris, but have you ever seen a pigeon baby? Do they immediately get big? <br /><br />You may have noted that there are a number of nice "hotels" around in Paris now for pigeons, where they can sleep and where they get food and something to drink. The only problem for the birds is that what they consume has the purpose of sterilization.PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-22665599980354036362012-05-01T05:15:36.125+02:002012-05-01T05:15:36.125+02:00Je suis triste d'apprendre cet abandon...
