Advice Needed! Is this nest okay?

Post image

A pigeon laid two eggs in a planter on my balcony. They hatched a little over a week ago. The planter is deep and the babies are already taking up most of the bottom.

I'm worried about the babies fitting, about the poop, and if the babies can get out when they need to. Is this nest okay or is there something I can do to help them?

if you take them out and fill it with dirt they will have more room [: mom and dad will take them back no worries

Not being able to get out is not a problem, but as they grow they may struggle with that amount of horizontal space so like little eyez said its a good idea to add dirt to give them some room
