pidgeon nests

Question
I recently removed a pidgeon nest from a church roof, how long would it take them to rebuild it

Answer
Hi Alan

Pigeons have a very strong breeding instinct and many types raise 4-5 broods each breeding season (that is why there's always so many of them!). The pigeons whose nest you removed have probably already made another one somewhere else. It doesn't take long for pigeons to build a nest because their nests are rather weak and made of twigs. It should take them around 2-3 days for them to build a new nest. Hope this helps.
