Nearly Threw a Stapler at a Crow

Further to the Retarded Pigeon post I can now report that there were 2 eggs which produced 2 squabs (that’s the name for a baby pigeon!) and they have already grown up and flown the nest.  That was quick wasn’t it?  The incubation time was 21 days and it only took 3 weeks for the squabs to grow and leave the nest.  Amazing!

There was only one scary moment when a crow came sniffing.  I am aware that magpies would attempt to spoil a nest and therefore took it that a crow would too.  As it was sat on a branch near the nest I grabbed a stapler and was ready to quickly open the window and throw it at the crow, fortunately there was no need.
