The pigeon moments!

We have been witnessing a few "pigeon-moments" on our terrace. Now, the second generation is going on, again with twin eggs.

The mother pigeon first builds the bed-nest for its eggs. It doesn't move, even a bit, unless to fetch some food for itself or its baby birds. It stays with the baby-birds for their protection when they can't fly. It vanishes once the babies learn to fly. And the cycle continues.
Amazing display of the fundamental survival skills. Never minding about the per-week-work-hours!
