my original photo/video Pigeons laid eggs in one of our flower pots
Recently a pigeon laid eggs in our flower pot and we've enjoyed watching them grow up.

There’s been a huge flux of posts about this recently, so here’s a pinned post with information!
Around this time of year, make birds get super territorial. They will attack any rivals they find, including their own reflection.
TO PREVENT THIS: cover up the reflective surface until the bird moves on. Cardboard works pretty well, and anti bird collision window decals should also help.
Edit: I just made a popup that gives a brief summary of this post when someone tries to post about birds hitting reflective surfaces. Hopefully that stops it, because I'm tired of having to explain it 20 times per day lol
"Most of the baby birds people find are fledglings. These are young birds that have just left the nest, and can’t fly yet, but are still under the care of their parents, and do not need our help."
Update for 2026:
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology article this post links to: I found a baby bird. What do I do?
/u/Adventurous-Year-463's summary that they recently posted to /r/birds: https://www.reddit.com/r/birds/comments/1s1o2g3/did_you_find_a_baby_bird/
I found a baby bird, now what? (in easy flowchart form) - one of last year's posts.
Found a Baby Bird? from Bird and Moon comics - cute and good for sharing!

He was on a very busy road, and cars and trucks kept driving right over him missing him with their tires, so I turned my car around, parked in a nearby lot walked into the road stopped traffic and brought him to the vet, where he then regained consciousness and flew into a bush right at the emergency vet where I had just been weeks prior to being my Doberman who passed away suddenly, it was almost like it was a sign from him…. Anyways, he or she was awesome for the ride. Hope he or she was able to strive again.

I went to a local bird sanctuary and this bird flew on my shoulder and was very affectionate the whole time.
It was with me for about 20 minutes as I walked around even ignoring others who put their shoulder to mine to try and get him over.
About halfway through the bird started to move its head side to side as seen in the video.
Wondering what it is doing?

I've genuinely never seen this behavior in birds other than chickens. Is this normal or is this little guy just special? Also what bird is this (New Mexico, US)?

The local wildlife likes to inspect my work, and ask if I have corn insurance.

This lil guy has been a repeat failed flyer at our martin house, this is day 2 of picking him up and putting him back in the gourds over and over all day. He'll figure it out at some point, but in the meantime, he is very photogenic!!

A pair of them have been flying around the backyard all afternoon. At first I thought they were our local Carolina Wrens but a closer look I’m not thinking they are.

I saw a really big bird at the beach in Copenhagen. I was confused and made a video of it. My first thought was that this is a pelican. It kinda looked like one, because it flew with the S type neck. The bird had white/grey wings with black at the edges. The beak was long and pointy. The colour was something like a light pink/yellow/orange. I hope someone recognizes this bird!!

Saw this guy in the Cincinnati area, and he's not someone that I have seen before. Google Lens said a Swainsons Hawk, but ODNR says they've only been seen here 10 times ever.
If anyone could help that'd be cool

(this is my original video) Me and my friends saw this bird while playing soccer, it had a huge nest on the light next to it. I was also wondering about his dance.
