Been wanting to attract pigeons into building a nest on the balcony of the town house I live in heard one out near the balcony today! went out to look and sure enough there was a male pigeon on the roof! he stood there and looked at me long enough for me to say hello before taking off. I put out some bird seed and hope he’ll come back, (maybe with a mate) there’s a section of the roof that sort of drops down, there’s also a metal panel that underneath which I’m guessing is for draining rain off the roof. Doubt it’s the best place to build a nest
Think I should put one of the wine crates out on the balcony and try to get them to use that?
It seems he’s selected that part of the roof as a nesting spot since this the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve heard a pigeon on that spot.
The crates were used to ship/hold wine and are unstained wood. The ends of the box are 6 1/2 inches tall and the sides are 19 1/2 iches long. No slits on the sides or ends, it’s all solid wood.
Would like advice!
