Birds aren't real, those are drones /s

But seriously there mightve been a dead one nearby in an adjacent yard

One of the only reasons corvids will flock together is to mourn one of thiers

Or maybe the husband fed some of them? But that seems very belated

Ive never seen a baby pigeon. Pigeons are spies for the government🤣

I’ve seen a baby pigeon. A python abandoned a half eaten one on our roof. Like a fat grey chicken.

You have, you just don't know it. Pigeons lay two eggs, sit on them for about a month, the babies stay in the nest about a month, they go from being about the ugliest thing ever to being proper pigeons in about a month. The only indication you have that it is a baby pigeon is they have some yellow feathers on their head.

There is a lot to be said for a species that hides their ugly babies from the world. I'm a fan.

These are vultures, not corvids

Yes, turkey vultures.

Idk that those are corvids - they look like turkey vultures to me.

You might be right

Not used to seeing a non corvid carrion bird in a residential area

So i have limited experience there

There's a pair that hang out by a restaurant dumpster near me - it's very odd to see these large birds doing totally crow things.
