The pigeons who used to roost in the roof have pretty much all moved on, apart from a couple who keep hanging around the garage. There's spaces under the eaves where they can get in and out, and the previous occupants left a bunch of wooden boards and stuff shoved up among the rafters (joists? one of those things) that make a nice platform for pigeons to roost on.

I've been meaning to clear out the stuff on the joists (or rafters) for a while now, to make the garage less hospitable to pigeons, but it's not a one-person job and I kept putting off asking my friends for help. We finally got to it this morning, and got about half the stuff down before we found out why those two pigeons have stuck around.

It turns out the last couple of pigeons is in fact a couple of pigeons, and up among the rafters (or joists) there is a nest containing some fuzzy pigeon babies.

So the rest of the clear-out is on hold until they grow up and leave home, which according to Google shouldn't ought to be more than a few weeks. The important thing will be to keep a close eye on the situation, so as not to miss the window before the nest has a new set of babies in it.
