A mysterious pigeon...

A pigeon lives in my balcony. I discovered it recently, when I was moving and clearing few of my discarded cartons, left in my balcony for sometime. Initially, I thought, it must be building a nest there. But, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that it lives there alone. I always thought Pigeons live in flocks. And I had the notion that they live mostly with their mate, especially during and just before laying eggs and building a nest for the same purpose. I see it often perching on my windowsill, outside my building and staring at me. It flies away during the day time and God only knows, where it lives throughout the day. But yes, I always find it coming out energetically, each day out of my cartons in the wee hours of the morning. Wonder, how happy and energetic it always looks, although he/she lives alone...!!
