Mo Chick

What to do when one pigeon chick dies, what happens to the other one?

Few weeks ago pigeons made a nest on my balcony and laid 2 eggs which hatched and today in the morning i see that one of em is not moving. I believe its dead. What do i do now? What happens to the other chick? The other chick is bigger about the size of my fist, but its mother wont get in the nest with the dead pigeon chick. Do I remove it if I do won't the Pigeons abandon the chick that is still alive?

1. Leave nature to do what nature does best. If you go near the nest the mother will abandon the chick. The chick probably starved the other in competition for food, especially if it is scarce at the moment. Try leaving grain on the ground nearby, if the mother doesn't have to search for food she will have more time for the nest.
