pigeon eggs

Question
Hi, there are 2 pigeon eggs among a bunch of twigs, its almost like the nest (between the wall and a bunch of my boxes) broke and the eggs were in it. There is no pigeon keeping them warm but I hear the pigeons during the day. The way the eggs are situated makes it really hard for a pigeon to sit on the eggs. I havent touched or moved the eggs or the nest  and i was wondering if there is anything i can do to help the pigeons take care of their eggs?

Answer
A normal reaction would be place the eggs back in the nest.
I guess there is no nest left, maybe you could place the eggs back in a nest that is has room.

The problem is that you need to it that the human or other strange sent is not on it and with out disturbing or alarming the (future) parents doves.
And the eggs may not become cold so it must be done within a normal time the doves them self leave the eggs alone.

I'm afraid the because of the time there is nothing you can do or that is has too large risk for the other eggs or the parent doves.

Placing it in an empty nest or a nest with only one egg would give the best results.
